help with
coral, ID, lambda.... 3/6/08
Hi Crew!
Donna here needing help again. A local reefer gave me a frag of this
coral about 4 months ago. She told me it was a Pink Birdsnest
<... a Poritid? Mmm, no... Looks more like a Hydnophora species; a
Merulinid...>
and she had it under PC lighting so I thought it would be okay in my
tank. A 20L with PC lights. I put it pretty close to the top. It was
doing fine all this time and then I decided to change my lights. It was
under 130W PC and I just got the Hagen Glo T5 HO 2X29W one actinic one
daylight. I did this 4 days ago and now the coral looks like this. Am I
correct in assuming the light is too strong? I moved it lower in the
tank for now until I receive your response. Thank you in advance!
Donna
P.S. the pictures are reversed I couldn't figure out how to get them in
the proper order...Sorry
<Mmm, I would borrow (check with the stores about, or the local
marine/reef club) a PAR meter... Too "guessing" to gauge how much useful
light/change otherwise here. I would in the meanwhile use a bit of
shading material as discussed here:
