Hi, wonder if anyone can help. I have a soft coral, some type of leather. It fully extends its polyps in the day and retracts them at night. Its brown in colour, or tannish. its some kind of finger coral as it has a lot of finger like protrusions. I think its a type of sinularia. Anyway...

hi, recently dad bought a disc coral, at first thought it was torch coral but now think its probably a disc or plate coral of the fungia type as its quite round and plate like. Heard that course substrate may damage the tentacles....question is would a plastic sheet placed under the coral be a...

the above pic by the way was when they were a little closed up, they can get really long in the day and morning, but tend to close up when lights goes off

Hi, Thankyou for your response 'nice1bruva' Interestingly enough I went out for a few hours and came back home to find that there are no more brown stuff coming out from the gorgonia, also the mouth or oral disc seem to have closed up (maybe thats why no brown stringy things are coming out)...

Hiya everyone, I'm new to the hobby and unfortunately before reading all about this hard to care species, I've bought the beautiful thing. Anyway its in my aquarium and I'll just have to care as much as I can for it. its having all its polyps and tentacles extended so I suppose thats a good...
