porites coral question

[itz_Nog]

Is a porites coral suppose to be this dirty? I've cleaned the dirt off the coral many times but every time it comes back

 

[ReneReef]

No its not.
If dirt can settle on it like this, its getting way to little flow.

It also seems to be in a rather dirty tank/sump/tub, that doesn’t help either. But the key to keep the coral clean and healthy is flow.

How would you clean the dirt off a coral?

Corals use flow to clean themselves.

Porite likes high light and high flow, they need the same conditions as sps corals.

I assume something like turkey blasting
