yellow polyp colony

[Lanzo]

hey forum, thanks for all the help and info you gave me on all my questions.My tank is geting better and better everyday.Last year this time i added a torch coral and it died after 2 weeks.Last week a added a Fox(2nd LPS in my Tank) and it is doing very well, it seems my tank kan handel LPS's now.

Can someone pease give me some more info about the yellow polyp colony?About: Ligth,flow,feeding,placement,reproduction and additives to add?

 

[Bifferwine]

These are easy to take care of. Low to moderate light (so you can put it at the bottom of your tank), low to moderate flow, no special feeding required, they will usually spread really easily, no additives needed.

They spread pretty quickly.

I bought a rock with 2 little yellow polyps, about 2 months ago. Today, I got about 10 of them. Mine are placed in medium current--just enough to make them blow around a bit. And medium level in the tank--probably medium/med high lighting.

Low to moderate flow and low to moderate light.An occasional feeding of cyclopeeze will be beneficial.

myne is placed 50cm under MH 150W 10000k, i tink that is a liitle but to high lighting on them????

 

[Lanzo]

Can i feed it plankton?What is cyclopeeze?

 

[reeffreak]

What kind of plankton?Thats the generic term
Cyclopeeze is a zooplankton,a very small red bug that makes great coral food,fish love 'em too.

 

[Lanzo]

hey hey hey i never ever gave this stuff to my reef, i found a tin (behind my sump) full of Cyclop-eeze myne has stuff written on it in german made by ARGENT.(Is that the stuff??)
My LFS sold it to me,its very expensive, and i've added some only twice in one year.

The plankton i have is PLANCTO?

What do i feed with what?

 

[Bifferwine]

Try feeding whatever is smallest.

50 cm below 150 w MH is 15 inches, I think that's way too close to the lights for those polyps. Put them down near the bottom of your tank.

 

[Lanzo]

The Cyclop-eeze float ontop of the water is myne old??

 

[Bifferwine]

If it's the dehydrated kind, you will need to soak it in water first. Then target feed the corals.

 

[Lanzo]

yip, o.k i'll feed them that from now.
THANKS.

 

[reeffreak]

I don't like the freeze dried stuff,its hard to get it to sink.Try the frozen cyclopeeze freezer bar.

 

[Lanzo]

Will my anemones it it if a spry them with it?

 

[Bifferwine]

The anemones might... They usually like larger pieces of food. I'm not sure they would be able to grab such small pieces.

 

[Lanzo]

i'll stick with the hake.
THANKS
