Just wanted to share a little info on how we keep our euphyllia. These guys all love random flow and really take a while to stretch out- sometimes months! They can handle burst of strong flow so long as it isn't too repetitive from the same direction. This can lead to tissue tears and eventually death. I have seen them being knocked around on maricultured farms in Bali in currents that most would think are way too strong but surprisingly they were happy as can be.

As a general rule, you want to keep different species of euphyllia from touching one another. Depending on the genetic differences, you will find that some will sting each other.
Lastly, whenever removing them from a tank be sure to let the polyps almost fully close to minimize tearing to the polyps. Ok- back to uploading!

I think someone posted this earlier but I'm not going to lie, I don't want to shift through all the pages and possibly miss a new coral being posted for sale... So my question is: what are the best beginner friendly SPS? I've read that pavona are a good choice but what else?
