It's a Royal Tang or a Blue Hippo Tang, they are both the same

your calcium should be 400+, Nitrates do not want to be above 20mg/L, not all toadstools have tentacles, i'm sure they will all stand up once they get used to your tank

Not sure t5 are good enough for keeping corals, my living reef tank has forced me to spend £1300 on new lighting a KR2 LED, I found that my heteracis crispa anemone climed across some corals killing them until it was happy it was getting adequate light

A new coral recently aquired

Low and behold the Anthelia is out in full bloom, strange it kept closed for a full day, I had 100kg when I set the tank up and probably have 10kg spare in a reserve tank which is kept wet & warm, but you are dead right after aqua scaping the tank it took around 190L to fill to the weir.

Only 15L, which I do weekly, bring the water up to tank temp. only thing I don't do is aereate it, salinity 1.024, it just seemed strange that it happened following the water change on Monday, do they not open sometimes? my anemones open and close, do corals do this in the day time when lights...

I have just purchased a new pump to pump the water change water into my tank, the pump is 1800 L/H, since my last W/C my anthelia sp has not opened whereas its been a beautiful coral, could this fast filling of the tank had anything to have caused this?
