Im not sure how AI's exchange/return policy is with this kind of stuff so I decided to keep it. Ill try giving them a call about the policy maybe I can exchange for something else.

I have their reef roids coral food that they said was made for this type of coral but I have not researched about long term success with this food on this coral.

Its not just the food. They are just very sensitive to changes. Water conditions must be one way... flow... feeding.

Alot of them do well.... but it also goes the other way. Just seem to be a picky coral. Hopefully it lives for you.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Thanks for the tips. This was definitely one of those times where I should have researched first before buying.

It depends on the kind also , I believe the red ones are supposed to do better....I had a green one for around a year before I passed it on to another canreefer and I had a smaller purple one for a little less. I found they liked lies of light and less than ideal water conditions

That tank of yours looks great and pretty full!
Soon you'd be just like the rest of us, upgrading to a larger tank. Especially when those corals start to take off.
Lenny.

Hey Denny, Ill have to come look at your tank over the holidays. Its looking good and can't wait to see the light ring you've got.

Thanks Lenny, I was really surprised how many corals I had when I was moving things around and took them all out of the tank. It doesn't seem like a lot until you pool them all together! You are right about upgrading cause Im looking around for some 75 gallons to upgrade to.

Noticed that my GBTA split today after being in my tank for just over a month from getting him from another Canreefer. It was split in the morning, back together in the same spot at lunch and now one of the halves is sitting inside a barnacle!

One on the left one in the barnacle on the right.


Original location





New hiding spot
