Flow for lps corals

I've got a spot with pretty strong flow and decent lighting. I gave a dragon soul favia a shot there but it didn't take, so I ended up moving it. Anyone have any other LPS suggestions that might do better in that area?

seeking advice on fish care

I've got a 125g saltwater reef tank with a large yellow tang, a medium clown fish, a lawnmower blenny, crabs, snails, and shrimp. My local store has California stingrays and a black and orange batfish, and I've been eyeing them for a while now. I recently lost most of my fish to a disease, but my ...

Re: Dragon soul favia coral

I've had similar issues in the past, too much light tends to cause bleaching. That coltin's dragon soul does look a bit underfed, it should be more puffy than that.

Re: Keeping clown fish and yellow tang together

I've never seen my clown fish do that rubbing thing, but I have noticed something similar with my tang. When the lights are off, I see a white streak, and then the next day when they're on, the streak is yellow.

seeking tang assistance

My current tank's got a yellow tang, regal tang, clownfish, blenny, and mandrine. I'm thinking of adding a few more - achilles tang, powder brown tang, and naso tang. I'd love to hear your thoughts on these fish. Also planning to get a snowflake moray eel, so any advice on that would be great. Any ...

Re: Euphyllia care and troubleshooting

My experience with mixing euphyllia types has shown that torches can be quite aggressive. I've had success keeping hammers and frogspawn together, but I make sure to keep my torches at a safe distance - about a handspan away from the rest.

Re: Showcasing hammer corals

Just picked up a couple new additions - orange with pink tips and an orange with green tips. They're on their way to the tank, will snap some pics later this week.

Re: Showcasing hammer corals

I've got a few hammers to share, not the best pics but here they are.

My green hammer is looking healthy, love the way it's growing.

Next up is my yellow and purple E. parancora, it's a common color combo but still looks great.

My purple with gold hammer is one of my favorites, the gold accents ...
