need help with ID and placement :)

Rytek · 02/27/2011, 02:21 PM

So typically I am more methodical and dont just buy a bunch of coral till I know I can keep it and how to. That is until I went to my first Reef convention; it all went out the window.

Unless you wonderful people can be even more specific lets just group them and you tell me if you know where it is best to place them.

The first group are the chalices. I read that sometimes they need different things depending on the specific kind of chalice so if you see one you know what the ID is and or you know where you think I should place it please chime in.

Once the chalice have been ID'd and most importantly I know what flow, lighting and position to place them in I will move to the next set of coral.

My tank is a red sea max 130D w/ 54 watt PC T-5's X2. Its about 3.5 watts per gallon.

First up,

Second, is this a zombie eye? (remember I need help placing him/them)

Third, nearly positive its a cotton candy

Fourth

Fifth

Abbot, costello, moe, larry, curly. In that order :-)

The problem with names like Zombie Eye is that they have just about as much meaning as my suggestions. Sorry I can't be more help.

As far as placement goes - I always start them on the bottom and move them occasionally until they seem happy.
