Can someone point me to websites on corals that they trust?
I'm looking for info on plate Corals, and Galaxie corals.
I'm one hundred % sure that I bought a plate coral from my LFS and I was told that it needs to be placed on a rock base the sandbed with low current. I found out later in an old reef book that I have that it want's medium current and doesn't need tobe placed on the sandbed, but should stay lowwer in the tank. of course I'm wondering which is true? Any opions out there?
Also I was told by the LFS that I got a Galaxie coral but it looks a bit like a tubaular coral of some kind I'm looking to find a site with good pics so I can ID the little bugger.
Thanks for the help.
(PS I maybe spelling everything wrong please ignore my lack of spelling)

My best guess is that the coral is a Galaxea Fascicularis or Star Coral. Of course the book that I found it gives me no info on water current information, it just says that it is difficult to keep and requires near perfect water conditions.
I just went down stairs and looked over the tank before turning off the lights and the plate coral is puffed out and giving off mucus. I don't think that he is long for this world, and I just bought him today. I must have done something wrong, I don't know what but I must have done something.

I've been researching corals, and have some sites I've been frequenting. Not sure if the mods will keep this thread if I post the URL's.
Let me know if you're interested and I can e-mail them to you if you'd like.
