    Hey guys, sorry I didnt take the pics last night. I was setting up my girlfriends "nano" (hint hint) 10 gallon and then I had to go eat with her family for a Birthday Dinner, then I was way to tired and went home and by then the lights were off in the tank. Pics tommorow!! PROMISE!

    When you take the pic,take the coral out of the tank and get a macro shot of the corallites/skeleton,otherwise its a guessing game.Stylophopra,Pocillopora,Porites,and Montipora can all look very similiar.The corallite structure is what distinguishes them apart.

    I'm gonna go with Stylophora pistillata.Of course it could also be a Pocillopora sp.Without a macro shot of the skeleton,its pretty much impossible to distinguish the 2 from a pic.Stlyophora is a very adaptable coral.It can tolerate intense light as well as thrive under moderate light.If your gettting algae growth on the tips,that means there's tissue loss.I would remove the colony from the sand,mount it to the LR where it will get a nice moderate flow.You will need to do waterchanges,start useing carbon to remove organics,and try to increase skimming.Once algae invasion starts,it takes pristine water quality and good husbandry to overcome it.If after a month or 2 and there's no improvement,you might be forced to break off the algae tips and seal them with superglue.

    Alright what do you mean by a Macro shot? So I can try.
