New coral found in my tank!!

Elmo18 · 01-26-2003, 08:31 PM

Well I dont know why i havne't seen this yet, but today which cleaning the glass i saw what looks like a hammer coral!!

It looks liek one, or it could be a torch?? I'm unsure but maybe it's a Euphyllia sp. ancora or ?!?!

It must have come along the rock of Xenia type B. Along side it is a Sky Blue button polyps from Rocky (Scubadude) several months back. Along that are green button polyps.

Can anyone for sure ID this new coral i found??

Thanks,

Elmo

Sweeet. You have the best of luck with little baby corals Elmo! If you look real close at the polyp tips it resembles a hammer IMO, but who knows....feed that little hungry baby and let it grow....keep us updated.

I hate to be a follower but a it looks to be green hammer to me as well. Take heart though, only a heathy system sprouts like that. Congrats on the new addition

Should I target feed it with frozen brine??

or will the lighting be enough for the zooxanthalae?

Formula1 or raw shrimp are much better choices. If fed 3-4 times a week and calcium/alkalinity levels are kept high it will grow very rapidly.
