I was wondering if that was what it was. Lace coral is very closely related to the Fire coral that I study, which is why they look very similar. The only challenging thing about Lace coral, like others have pointed out, is that it is non-photosynthetic so you will definately need to feed it on a regular basis. Awesome looking Hydrozoan coral though.

Allan, that thing is sweet!

Okay, so we'll see how the feeding goes. I don't think the food I give to the other lps will suffice.

Another example that when a lfs tells you it requires "high lighting"... It's not always the case.

What are you planning on feeding it?

lol, you'd have to ask huh?

I blend up an extra fine surry for my lps and other filter feeders of the same goo that I feed the fish. This has done nothing towards getting rid of my cyano and i've one or two places where algae is taking hold (the tangs seem to eat it though)... but the coral seem to do okay by it.

Now, since I'm beginning to see that this may be one of those more delicate creatures... well, I'm open to suggestions. I don't feed my fire coral anything... but then again it seems to like the light well enough on it's own.

What would you recommed doc? I'm thinking those TDS bottles, but I go through so much of it... Too bad I can't feed it cyano poo...
