New Galaxia coral (pics)

Mappelbaum37 · 08/29/2008, 05:29 PM

I got a new Galaxia coral today. I put it in this location because its really the only area in the tank that it fits, but it looks like its getting too much flow. Does anyone have experience with galaxia's and how much flow they like?

Thanks

I've got mine in med flow. Careful about placing other corals around it. They've got some really long sweeper tentacles. The higher the flow, the longer they are.

Mine seems to like higher flow. But I dont know anything about them cause I get most of my reef knowledge here and I havent found much about them or very many post regarding them.

The tank I got the coral from in the LFS had little flow and the coral was fully open and doing great. I just moved the coral to every spot I could possibly imagine and I finally found a spot with low flow, but also pretty low placement in the tank. It's not too close to any other corals. I'll post a pic. tomorrow bec. the lights just went out.

Thanks for the help!

looks good, but if you keep it under high flow, the sweeper tentacles will get really long and sting anything remotely close to it!
