    Deep questions - Polyps, Zooxanthellae, and Stony Corals

    A little preface to my question So polyps are individual animals, separate from the corals themselves. Polyps not only house zooxanthellae but are the way corals interact with their environment by providing a means for the coral to eat food. Polyps secrete calcium carbonate underneath...

    Adequate flow

    Hi guys, after I read some threads it's still unclear whether I have enough flow for my acros or not. The problem is: I see no polyps extension at all, all of them are hidden (except one acro). I bought all the frags 5 days ago. Could such behaviour be related to reduced flow in my tank...

    Corals Utilizing Nitrates?

    It seems that the general consensus is that coral's zooxanthellae utilize nitrates for coral growth, coloring, etc. But on average, is there some sort of chart or general knowledge about how many nitrates corals can pull from the water in a given amount of time? For instance, One Polyp of...
