Turbinaria

I have 2 colonies in my tanks.I think they are T.peltata.One is plate-like in its growth form and as such probably comes from reduced water-flow.The other is cup like with nodular growths from the center which presumably came from an area of higher water-flow.My research has shown they come from turbid waters(higher nutrients)and are quite adaptable to lighting,some thriving in less-intense light.My limited experience shows they are heavy mucus producers and shed frequently and are eager to eat CE.They are a great coral IMO and should do well in higher-nutrient(softie,LPS tanks).So,how many of you CR members keep these corals in your reefs.Share your experiences.

You're pretty familiar to mine, right??? In high current high light area and just gets what it gets when I feed. You know what??? I deleted a lot of my pics, but have a lot at the RF site... anybody wanna try bringing them here, to our gallery??? I'm not worthy to do it(or know how).
