Kevin S. Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Any one have experience with caring for this coral? I had it low in the tank and moved it up about 10" under 175 watt 20k halides with high flow. Starting to bleach in the middle and looking a little pale. Alk - 8.5 Temp - 78 Salinity .025 PH - 8.5 Will try to attach a photo. Edited July 1, 2016 by Kevin S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Never had one but I heard their care is similar to the acropora echinata. Low light, medium flow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin S. Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Well I may move it down lower in the tank. I had a alk spike a month ago by accident and lost a few small sps but this one was already bleaching some before that. Im sure it did not help it though. Pretty sure this is not a easy coral to care for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 If you can keep that echinata and dragon acro in the background, you can keep a turaki. All about the same as far as sensitivity is concerned. It's only because it's a mariculture that it'll be a little tougher as they have to acclimate to tank conditions and lighting as well.
