Do you have any other corals? I have it and it is a pain in the butt, it grows on everything...under everything...oh and around everything.
Wish I had never introduced it into my tank.

i got some from my foreman, not willingly

he bought a new tank of CL, had LR out of water in bins in the back of his truck for 6 hours at 10C at night...i picked it up, continued my night shift for another 3 hours....got home and threw it in my then empty 90g (to keep the LR alive while he got the tank setup)..next morning zero damage was done...now polyps are popping up here and there......its probably a lagoon coral....out of water for hours doesnt harm it....fire does though...my foreman was able to rid of it very effectively...he was about to take a wire brush to it when he noticed it has a translucent encrusting flesh which can be peeled off

:lol: And if you think that has gotten rid of it... guess again. :wink:

I would go with pulsing xenia instead of anthelia. Fairly similar (although xenia is nicer looking) but it is not as invasive as anthelia.

I'll be setting up a new tank at the beginning of August and tearing out all the anthelia in my tank, you're welcome to have it. There's a lot.

Il take it. Thx
I'm one of those oddballs that like invasive corals that take over the tank.

Thanks for all the anthelia. Enjoy the beers :)
