new coral: Alveopora
Well, I saw it yesterday at my LFS and after debating with myself I desided to buy it. I had one for awhile and it was doing really well and actually growing but during my last vacation it was knocked ovet into my rose anemone and was killed
 I made sure it is nowhere near my anemone this time.

I love the metallic coloration on that Alveopora. They're supposedly easier to keep than Gonioporas (aka Flower pot by those petco peeps).
Let us know how it does in your tank  - ELmo |

The size of the colony is about 4"x5" but I hope that it grows and gets bigger. I'm feeding my tank with phytoplankton and they supposedly take up some nutrients from water through direct absorption. I'm hopefull so far.

I'm sorry to report that the colony were lost to...yes,you guessed it right,my third rose bta clone that moved overnight and by the morning time I was fraging like crazy trying to salvage it
 It happened just a couple of month back I had one one branch living for about a month after that but it was lost as well.The polyps didn't come out as they used to after it was stung by the anemone. I usually get downstairs every morning to check on my tanks but that morning I couldn't as I was in charge of my granddaughter...anyway, I'm hoping that I can complete a trade with Minh for a frag of his Alveopora when it warms up a bit.It is one of my favorite LPS of all times.
