What type of coral?

[Bb2jdm]

Hi I'm new to coral and I bought three frags couple of days ago but I forgot what they are. I kno one is acan's. The other two I think are zoa's and other ones are polyps?

The 2 in the pics are def. zoos but I don't see the acan
And it's hard to tell you which ones you have because there are so many types and ppl tend to name them whatever they want most of the time

 

[Bb2jdm]

I didn't post a pic of the acan's. So there's both zoa's?

[Rich440]

Thanks Guys. I got it bc I want to learn more about coral. I learn better by doin than to just read about it. Even tho I have been reading a lot about corals. What supplements should I b giving? I only have a 14g biocube. I have a clown, yellow watchman, pistol, and little critters. I need to beef up my cleaner crew tho bc I only have hermits and one turbo. I was doin erase arch and a lot of ppl like the b-ionic supplements but idk.

 

[Rich440]

The b-ionic is a good supplement but then again everyone has their own opinions on what they think is better

 

[Bb2jdm]

True. I think im gonna give it a try.

 

[Rich440]

Make sure you keep track of your water perimeters so you dont over dose

With out having any sps or lps there should be no need to dose anything just do weekly water changes with reef salt and Ro/Di water and your levels should he fine.

 

[Rich440]

He has zoas and an acan and maybe more for all we know so dosing will help with the growth of your corals

 

[Bb2jdm]

Yea ama start using reef salt when I finish the regular one. Thats all I have for coral in my tank. And a curly cue anemone. But that's guys you've been helpful. Good lookin out.

Dosing isn't needed in a properly maintained tank until your corals are depleting the alkalinity and calcium from the water faster then your wc can replace it. Most people won't need to dose honestly and if they do its to keep elevated levels which is walking a fine line and only should be done with frequent testing and a pretty sound knowledge of the water make up.
