Acquired new orange plate coral

[Anthony Scholfield]

Hey man that’s awesome. Remember to put it in the sand, plate corals can die if not on sand. They’re foot needs to grab the sand I believe

Plate corals do not have a foot and will not die if it isn’t in the sand. It is recommend they go on the sand bed because they can inflate themselves and move a bit, so placing them on the rock work is not recommended.

I disagree.

Care to explain why you disagree?

plate corals can move around a decent amount by themselves; if they aren’t on the bottom then there is a chance for them to knock themselves off what ever rock/ledge they’re on.

This is what they should have said......instead of just disagree.

Thanks everyone. It was at a bigals here in Ontario. They really don’t know much about reefs anymore. The corals are dimly let. Almost dark but they are cheap so I took a chance. Since it’s been under my ai prime on saxby it’s looks amazing! Way better that the store

I disagree that they must be kept on sand which was the statement that I quoted.

Have not yet figured out how to take coral pictures. This is our new plate. It eats a combo of mysis, brine and reef roids with vengeance. It is actually more blue and yellow. Never had a plate before. The tentacles are quite long and wave in the "breeze".

That plate is awesome. Let's see it in a little more white light.

My little orange plate - it’s about the size of a .50 cent coin, perfect size for a pico reef.

This one is about 3" across. I think WWC called it frosted. This is the pic that's in my order history from when I got it.
