Marine Tank--LPS Corals ( Fox Coral)

Latest addition to my marine tank-- a fox coral, (Nemenzophyllia turbida)

Supposedly one of the best and easiest coral for beginners. Bought this in a less than ideal state... It's beautiful colour prompted me to give it a chance to try and nuture it back to glory...

Hope to frag out the babies on the right hand side to culture and grow out on a separate rock after they've acclimated to the tank conditions and doing well...

Bought it with its tissue slightly receded..

5 days later...
