Plate Coral


This is a Long tentacle plate coral. It was added to the tank on 4/9/06. It has been doing great since the first day. However, it is a bit aggressive. It got into a bit of a fight with the frogspawn and they both lost some arms. At night, the lunar lights in the tank light up the body in bright yellows and greens. The tips of the tentacles are bright blue under the lunar lights as well. I recommend this one to beginners since it is hardy and the cost is reasonable.
