A white Christmas in September

[vinsaltank]

My tree was blooming today, with the MH's on too.
So I had to take a pic to share.
I got this tree from SWF.com..
It is a nice coral.
I dont direct feed, I just add my zoo and phytomix when the actinics are on.. Thats when it usually comes out.

What kind of tree is it?

 

[vinsaltank]

Its just called a "CHRISTMAS TREE or XMAS TREE CORAL". check it out here on SWF.com.

Yes Sir,
By it from SWF.com.
Acclimate it properly.
Stuff it in a nice low spot in the sand.. ( it doesnt require light)
and your tree will grow in like 3 hours....

does it close up like that every night?
does it need any special food or just some good phytoplankton?

 

[scottgotts]

does it attach itself or can you move it around??? and could i feed it zooplankton?? Thanks

It has not moved since I purchased it. ( Other then GROW and shrink- Probably about 6+ inches , when its open.. It opens mostly when the actinics ONLY are on, thats why I took a pick yesterday.. It was open in full light)
I feed my tank the usual reef blend for the few fish I have in there and I supplement with a phyto-zoo concentrated mix.
(2 drops for 50gallons- once a day).
Thats all I do...
