Frag ID's
A couple IDs!
Picked up all 3 at the LFS. The guy thought #1 and #2 were montis, and the third was a favia (I know #1 isn't a monti cap, and #2 I suspect is some sort of plate.) Any ideas on what they really are? #1 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y224/tabkatz/006.jpg #2 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y224/tabkatz/007.jpg #3 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y224/tabkatz/011.jpg |
pretty sure 1 is a lephastrea, blue eyed girl to be exact:)
2 is a chalice both are bleached and need some tlc they would need lower light and look like they have a long road of healing to do. the third is a favia. hope that helps cheers denny |

Thanks guys! Any hints on how to get these guys to colour back up?
|
put them in lower light and they may come back , there is a point when bleaching is to much to recover from.
both are lower light corals but can tolerate high light if acclimated slowly. of course like anything water quality has to be good and consistent or it just slows down the process. cheers denny |
What type of lighting do you have? They are definitely bleached so keep them at the bottom of the tank. Probably best in a shaded area or at the far sides of the tank to get less light. It will just take a lot of time to get the colours back.

Is there anything extra special I can feed them to help them along and such?

I moved them both to the bottom under a rock ledge, they still get light but its pretty well shaded. |
#2 looks like a plate to me..does it have a mouth in the center?
