All About The Galaxea Coral

[@harleydad1975]

Just bought an aquarium from a buddy and it came with a softball size galaxea....and I had no idea what it was until now lol It has some pink tips under blue light. Very cool indeed.

My beautiful galaxea decided to recede suddenly when I added some meds to my tank. I've done water changes, dips, run carbon. Cannot get it to open again. So frustrating. My other corals are fine (zoas, mushrooms, even some sps like monto cap, digitata and anacropora)

[@Messier87_M87]

These corals come a wide range of cool colors, but their sweepers are crazy. I have a big piece of Merulina coral in my tank and at night, it has long sweepers similar to galaxea.

[@BrockLeonard]

Those Merulina’s can sting the fire out of stuff with them sweepers too haha

[@karennation3580]

I won a really pretty peuple and gold one on ebay from cb! I was thinking of seeif they would let me trade because those sweepers are insane and my tank isnt that big! I love my pectinia but the same problem with crazy sweepers and pectinias dont look good on sand bed!

[@KeepItFishyyEG]

Very nice. Brock, what budget friendly light would you suggest for a birdnest?

[@BrockLeonard]

I've heard a lot of good things from the Current USA lights. And they are much cheaper that your usual Primes and Hydras

[@karennation3580]

@@BrockLeonard Dont think you can get the par you need for a birdsnest with current usa!

[@leeandmandybattersby5958]

i just added one of these to my tank .. do you have any idea how long they take to open

[@alexswag3k454]

They should open instantly, they need high flow and high light

[@zacharyscott1264]

How fast do they grow compared to green star polyps?

[@slvsh1155]

Probably slower because it is a LPS coral. Requiring calcium to build its skeleton. Also depending on if you feed it or not.

[@BrockLeonard]

Definitely slower. They’re having to grow an entire head each time to grow, so you’re looking at a few new heads each month if you were to feed it.
