Question from Gene Wong: my flowerpot coral is not doing too well.
Flowerpot corals are very difficult to keep.
I had a flowerpot coral and it was gorgeos. It lived for close to 9 months. Tentacles slowly disintegrated.
I HATE the term LFS. Local fish store. Dumb
Here's another stupid term...HUSBANDRY. lame
Soft coral likes a little bit of dirty water, meaning, some nitrates are ok, up to about 10. Hard coral needs 0 nitrates. Pristine water. Maybe these flowerpot corals need pristine water too.
salinity 1.024, moderate light, indirect flow
Most reefers are able to keep these flowerpot corals for a month or two.
After a couple months, if it's still alive, you're good and perhaps a little lucky.
Oh take it easy...You know I love women!
Thanks for watching! It's appreciated!
