I figured I would do a few updates on this coral.  I have made posts in the past about it.

First thing,  If you want one to release from a rock, DO NOT use a ice cube like the guy did I  got this one from.  It might live but it really did put some strain on it.   I have found a simple CUT from a New razor blade right at the base will put less stress on it.

To re-attach it to a rock, do like I did, pinch it between 2 rocks.   If it is Bigger like mine glue and a rubber band simply dont give it the support needed.  And glue don’t stick very well to it, while a rubber band simply cuts threw it over time. so when working with Sinularia coral’s  Think simple, even when you frag them, cut off a small branch and stick it in between a few rocks, let it self attach to one of them.

UPDATE: and yes they will live under a PC light, but they really Like T5 HO lights.

I did not see it grow much with the PC light , but the T5 ho, I have seen a growth within a week.

My Saltwater Coral Tank, What is The Name Of This Coral

Posted by admin | D.I.Y pet supplies | Tuesday 23 March 2010 8:52 am

I just did a trade for a dozen snails for This Coral, He is still Pissed off !!  When ever he gets better from being Fraged he will get about 10″ Tall and Look Like a Tree with no leaves

I don’t Think He Is a Kenya tree or a Colt Coral.

Sorry For the Bad Picture, I’m still Playing with the camera to Figure out how to take Pictures of Stuff in my tank.

A few people from michiganreefers think it is a Sinularia.

I found a google search that said.

“Colt Corals are very feathery while Sinularia Corals are not as feathery.”

I re-attached It using a saltwater glue.

I really hope it don’t die, It was about 10 inches tall when I got him.  But the guy I got him from used a Ice cube to get him off the rock.
