I read says tubipora is only for advanced folks, but its been one of
the easiest simple corals I have ever fooled with and thnnk its even
easier than shrooms are. (Pipe Organ is what I am referring to) All it
needs is decent PC lights, preferably a sand bed but placed in live
rock is also fine, and some decent water flow. It does require a good
level of calcium if you want it to grow, and in which case it will do
so quite readily. I started off with a spring of abot 3 or 4 polyps
about a year ago, and its been fragged numerous times
already.Presently its the size of a softball after the last frag I did
about 2 weeks ago. It also glows nice under actinics or moon lights.
Its very fragile though, and resembles a thick heavy stand of green
star polyps with a much nicer metallic green coloration.


Was this a large or small polyp tubipora?

Refuguim or skimmer?

What do you feed it?

Etc.
