Hi all,
Grabbed this coral from Dong almost a year ago (large frag tank, ~9alk, 430CA?, wave motion from Jebao wavemakers)
Now on the side of a tank (med light) (t5+led hybrid with more violet than previous system) very high water movement (lamilar flow from Maxspect Gyre) - 7 Alk. Color has remained similar, but the growth pattern is very different.
Any idea what causes the very different growth patterns? Smooth vs Spikey (extension of skeleton below each corallite). Is this mostly due to water flow? (higher flow = more spikiness)
Best,
Rob
