For some unknown reason can some tanks not keep this coral? I got some couple weeks ago and it keeps receding. I have xenia and Kenya tree growing like crazy but this just seems to die.
Nitrates-0
calcium-460
PH-8.2
temp-78-80

Yes that can be the case! I know people that have very nice sps lps tanks and cant grow, star polyps or xenias,
-
i had mine i very heavy flow and they grew like crazy, until i couldn't get rid of them, now i have a few on the back glass with no flow and they just sit there no growth. try the heavy flow
-
I got some from Lonnie and it didn't like the flow in my tank and died. The same stuff in Lonnie's tank is just beautiful.

i cant keep recodia and xeina ether there r just some thing people cant keep
-
IMO if you feed your tank lightly they dont do as well. I feed more cyclops and marine snow in my tanks then some others on here do and I have to make sure they dont grow all over everything :)
-
i have them in very low flow now so i'll have to try moving where there is more and see what happends. There is about 2 inches of it left.
-
Add me to the list. I can't keep them either.

Kevin,
Whenever you want more I have plenty I can give you.

I wish i couldnt grow them, they are like the plaque in my tank, always scrapping and scraping the rock, xenia and star polyps...worse than kenya trees, :angry4:

Lonnie, I appreciate it, but I'd probably kill it again... Maybe I'll take you up on that.

very true
-
well i moved it where there was alot more flow, and it stopped receding but hasn't spread any either.
-
give it a little time

Mine used to look like this, then a portion of it crumbled away and it may pull through but idk.. all others never went through this. Its not in so low flow that algae would build up. stumped.
