New Coral

[ajg1460]

bought a bundle of coral, and thought I knew what I had, went looking for care tips for this coral that I thought was a trumpet and the pics I see don't match. What is it

 

[Fluff]

Looks like a trumpet or candycane coral to me. Give it some time to open up. It's looks like it's pulled down tight.

Ok, I thought I was told trumpet, and the pic was taken right after it was introduced to the tank, but either it really has not opened up much. Where should it be placed in the tank, low, high, middle?

 

[Fluff]

LPS aren't as light demanding so low to mid would be fine with a moderate waterflow.

Ok, I have it high right now with little water flow. Let me go find it a new home. thanks

 

[ajg1460]

Looks much happier tonight thanks again!

I have one of those... doesnt look very good though....

I had mine high in the tank in a place with very little water flow. Can beleive the difference after moving it lower to a place where it would get moderate water flow.

it is amazing how the slightest decrease or increase in water flow can bring a coral to life..! picky buggers..!

I would say candy cane of trumpet as mentioned above.
