This was my first coral. My LFS told me that it was a hardy sand coral, and it shouldn't have any problems with my current lighting.
My current lighting came with my 40 gal bowfront JEBO. I'm not sure what it is, it has one white bulb and one flourescent one, and it was probably built for freshwater. Also, it keeps the tank at 81F, and I have to keep the lids open to keep it cool. (i'm working on setting up a fan). I'm a little PO'd about the aquarium purchase, but that's a different story.
My fish are ok, and my other corals are doing well. This one has slowly deteriorated since i bought it (2 months).
I'd like to save it. I feel that maybe my lighting is inadequate, but it will be a while before I can afford to upgrade to VHO. I'd put it up on some rocks, but the LFS told me it should stay in the sand.
Ammonia, nitrates and phosphates are reading 0.
I've been feeding a rotation/combination of Cyclopeeze, Marine Plankton, DT's Phytoplankton, and frozen brine shrimp.
I paid a lot for it, but if you guys think it won't be able to thrive with my current setup, I'll give it away to someone that has adequate lighting for it.
(a frag or two would be nice!) My objective is to save the coral.
Take a look.
