@p@blo, @Dr. Dendrostein
Need help with this coral afraid I'm going to lose it.
20201103_134715.jpg

It is white with yellow polyps. Got if over 4 months ago along with litophyton, Nephthea and stereonephthya.
They all where placed at bottom of DT with plenty of light and flow. They all have doubled in size except this one. It is still the same size as when I got it.
Was going to move it higher up. Then I was wondering if it is possibly a dendro.
I feed benepets, oyster feast and 2 types of phytoplankton.
Any help where to move it would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Looks like is shrinking. You can try to move it up where it can get more random flow. Also feeding any powder food for coral may help. Good luck

So I have a cousin who's in the medical field. And his work moves him from state to state. So he gets a chance to visit different Reef stores. So he sends me only stereonephthya and lemnilia to care for him, till he gets home on vacation, then I ship them to him.. This just came in today it's stereonephthya has little yellow in it. Going into 7.5 gallon nano. Stay tune.

Stereonephthya from Vietnam.

One serving at midnight 1 gram powder food coral curry, powder whole milk,kelp, marine algae 2 microns, whole anchovies, all powder, mix together. In fish feeder. And 4 ml of red sea energy AB, at 6 pm. Every night. That it.
Not too shabby

Got some of "pink kenya tree" from LFS, needs your Id?
1. This is what i thought be koji wada tree?

2.This is another one that i thought also be koji wada but not quite sure, it will shrink at night and inflate when the light is on. Got it from one of the local breeders who said it is easy to care though propagates not that quick

3. This one is actually quite tan in color under 12000k, this photo is taken under somehow violet conditions that makes it look quite "purple", could probably be lythopyhton?

4. This one is not that sure , thought it could be any other species , breeders claimed it photosynthetic but i quite doubt that
