It's an alveopora. Similar care to a goniopora - I'd recommend target feeding reef roids at least a few times per week.

(Tip: Alveoporas have 12 'petals', gonis have 24)

sorry i should be more careful with my choice of words. Sorry if i offended anyone. I was just angry at my pipe explosion at 10pm and night with water everywhere.

Disappointment is with cade and cheap nasty plumbing. not to mention the hose clamps not even being stainless steal

perhaps you need to provide carity. Was the pipe made in China?. Did the pipe break due to quality issues (ie. was it crap)?. If both of these statments are true, the this in fact would be a true statment, 'A piecies of Shit made in China'. This is not a racest statement, but instead a statement of FACT!

Yes the pipe is made in China and yes it did break down after 4 months of use from bad quality.
So glad you clarified this. I was horrified to be labelled as a racest.

Ha! Yeah, I thought you had a horror story to share.

@OSCAR85, with your manual top up, are you heating the water before you add it? Holding it for 24 hours? What's the process you choose to run with for top up and water changes?

Hi there, I just use tap water for top up at whatever heat. It's normally a small amount each day so not enough in temperature to shock anything.
I currently use redsea coral pro with tap water for my water changes and I do 50L every Sunday

Is that a Fromia starfish in the bottom right and corner of the tank. If so, you may have to spot feed this animal given how immaculate your substrate and tank is generally. Fromia, together with Linkia starfish are considered to be detritivores, however they generally have poor survivorship in captivity.

Tank is stunningly beautiful as always.

Wow the green Actinos have grown heaps! The Tubastrea is a very nice addition too. Very nice work mate, you should be very proud! What happened to the fragged Acropora that was in the upper right hand side of the reef scape? I'm not sure if its because of the camera angle but I can't see it anymore. I was really interested in how it was going to grow out. :P
