Rare Find, Great Deal

[xcali1985]

Was able to locate some Orange Tipped Cloves. For those who don't know they sell for 10-35$ a head. Usually on the upperside of that bracket. Heres a pic of them under actinics to show off their colors.

I got 4 heads for 30$ although babies, you can see the colors on them already. They spread pretty fast also once they find a tank that they like.

Looks like a nice healthy crop of them. I had some (about 5 heads on a small rock) but only three survived my tank and for over a year they never spread. It looked like tiny babies up and coming then they all just disappeared.

....Good luck with them, they are so beautiful.

Im obligated to supply the LFS with a healthy colony first, if it takes off. They take good care of me and i return the favor once the start to spread. Im hoping for the best.
Flower: They said their stock did the same thing one day, but I figured it was from being harvested on a constant bases. We will see how it foes. I got Daisy Polyps that are doing good so Im hoping to place them in the same area as see what happens. Right now doing light acclimation in the sand with them.

What is the lighting requirement on these? Did a quick search for 'orange tipped clove coral' and didn't find it's care needs.
I have a 29 biocube w/stock lighting.
Thanks
