This is my first coral in my tank. I saw it at Petco and it looked sad, with maybe only 10 polyp arms out. I felt like I had to save it, so I added it to my tank probably earlier than I should have. However, it looks like it’s doing great. All polyps are always out and it already closed up for 2 days and shed its skin. I was wondering if any of you toadstool pros out there could give some advice. Does the flow look ok? Idk what par it’s getting, but should I move it up higher on a rock to get more light? Do you feed them anything specific? Also, can anyone tell me what kind it is? The end of the polyps look bright green with blue lights. Thanks in advance.

Is it normal plate corals to get puffy like this? I’ve heard it’s really good when they are puffy but I’ve also heard it means they don’t like where there at in the tank does anyone know the actual answer? 😅

Guys i need your help. In the new year i plan on investing in some corals but im strugling for ideas and placements. What do you think? For ease, ive created 3 main zones.

Zone 1 is a bare rock with a soft finger coral in front of it.

Zone 2 has a tiny green kenya tree that i hope grows nice a big and theres a small rock on the sand bed with a zoa on it.

Zone 3 is pretty empty. Has a red sponge attached to the rear of the rocks on the right hand side and a tourch that isnt fixed in possition but could be nice with a couple others and make abit of a garden?

I want colour and movement in my tank.

I like the look of GSP and have though about trying to put some on the backglass maybe.

Thanks for reading and any feedback welcome 👍🏼
