Dreichler Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 So i bought this trachy today, and its honestly the most colorful piece of coral I've ever seen before, no doubt. But just a few questions. What kinda lighting would they prefer? I have an AI Prime over a JBJ 28. And how much flow? And feeding? Link to comment
seabass Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 It should be fine under moderate to high lighting and medium flow. I'd probably just feed it some mysis (or other small meaty food) once a week. If your nearby BTA is doing fine, I expect the trachyphyllia should do so too. Link to comment

I feed all my other corals marine pellets, same as my fish, and they seem to love it, will it eat the same? Link to comment
seabass Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I'd think a thawed frozen mysis would be accepted/digested more readily. However, depending of the pellet size, it might be fine. Link to comment
uwdanno Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Research and then buy. Link to comment
SquishyFishy Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I had to go get a washcloth to clean the drool off my chin!!!!!! Gorgeous! Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Very nice! Do NOT give it too much light or it will quickly bleach and take months and months to recover. I did that and still have a pale blob Low flow (Not enough to indent the flesh) and low to medium light is key Link to comment
Matteo Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I gotta ask how much was that Link to comment
Markburns43 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 What a spectacular coral. I'll take a guess. Here in ct I'd say 350.00 usd or better Link to comment

DocReef Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Same as your Scoly. Would not use high lighting until acclimated, so it doesn't lose its color. Really no need to feed, but can feed mysis or brine when the tentacles are open (usually at night) if you'd like. Low to medium flow will suffice. Link to comment

Yeh thats a 350 piece here in Jersey. well my really good friend has his own private coral business so i get the best prices you can find in any state... rasta zoas for $6 a head... Same as your Scoly. Would not use high lighting until acclimated, so it doesn't lose its color. Really no need to feed, but can feed mysis or brine when the tentacles are open (usually at night) if you'd like. Low to medium flow will suffice. well my scoly has been in the sand about a year, any reason or benefit to moving it up, and shouldn't it always be in a sand bed Link to comment
Rduboid1117 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 That is a beautiful piece. Good luck with it. Link to comment
Chris! Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 well my scoly has been in the sand about a year, any reason or benefit to moving it up, and shouldn't it always be in a sand bed Keep both on the sand, low flow and low/ moderate light like harry said. Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 This is what happens when you get a beautiful dark open brain and expose it to SPS level light. Before: Link to comment
Matteo Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Yeah 140 is not bad. Here in Oregon it would be 250 at least Link to comment
