Random Post - one and a half years of war coral.....

[KingOfAll_Tyrants]

Random thoughts that came to me when I looked at one of my corals yesterday.   

 

This was my first stony coral; I got it from Azim in December 2017.   (the pic of it on the sandbed was the day I introduced it)

 

It did OK for a bit, but then went through a rough patch, to include some bleaching last year (thanks to dpassar for taking it in when it was injured and I was out for like a month last year).   

 

Now, looking at it (the second picture), I swear that the "brain" grows noticeably every day.  There was at least 1-2 coralites that were flat on the rock on Saturday, now presumably part of the "brain".  The colony definitely further encrusts daily………..

 

it's grown well under a Kessil 360, and a dosing regimen that tries to keep DKH around 8.0 or so.

Awesome looking piece! I’m Curious about the kessil’s intensity you’re running and the depth of the tank.

 this is about 16 inches from the surface. Intensity got up to 100%. As I recall, the PAR measurements were between 50 to 100 PAR.   if you want, I can dig through my notes and try to find the number.

 

I found the Kessils do pretty well for this coral.

No need to dig. Thanks for the info!
