Corals That Mooooooove

[demonmagus]

Hi, I like corals that sway in the current, but being a complete noob, don't know the name of any single one

anyone know of any corals which move?

thanks

Spaghetti leathers, devils fingers, and nepthia are some softies that sway in the current. Any Euphylla genus coral (frogspawn, torch, hammer, galaxea), bubble corals, and elegance corals (although I wouldnt reccomend an elegance) are some good LPS that sway in current. Some SPS corals get pretty furry like pocillipora, millepora, and stylophora but those are of course more difficult to keep.

thanks for those ski

Hmm, I thought posted in this thread this morning? Now I cant see it! Ohwell, LOL.

What I said before, have you seen some Macro Algae? That can look alot like grass, depending on species, and they have a wide variety of colours/textures! Also, Green Star Polyps! SHouldnt be too dear or hard to come by, and once they mat out, they can move/look grassy!

thanks for that

I have some Green Star Polyps. They sway in the current nicely, looks like a carpet of grass!
Here's a video I found of Green Star Polyps: http/www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEuLJKLvmhM

If you want to see a coral move - the best is xenia. It's like hands opens and closing.

 

[demonmagus]
