Koral krazy (reefer 365) Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 What is this ##### coral? Are you just swearing out of frustration, or is the name being blocked? Sounds like a type of LPS, post a picture so it can be identified. PH sounds a little low, what is calcium, alk, and salinity? Link to comment

Scott Riemer Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 As best as I can tell from searching this is what is known as Colt Coral here in the states. Quoted from WetWebMedia.com Colt Coral - 1/30/2006 Good Morning WWM Crew. Please could you help me with a more precise identification of this coral I bought from my LFS yesterday? It is sold over here in the UK as a '##### Coral', and all I can tell you is you don't want to do a google search for that.... <I can imagine...> I understand from reading up on WWM before purchase that in the US they are known as 'Colt Corals', and are one of the easier soft corals to keep, growing rapidly,( sometimes a bit too rapidly?), and sometimes a little aggressive. They are also capable of wandering a little. All I'm really after is a Latin name. My best guess's from your pages is a coral from family Nephtheidae, genus either Capnella or Lemnalia. <Mmm, doe look like these to me... likely so. Or an alcyoniid: http://wetwebmedia.com/alcyoniids.htm Maybe an Alcyonium or Lobophytum sp.> I attach a photograph, taken early in the light cycle of my tank when the coral is about 75% open. Thank you once again for your time. Bob Mehen, Cornwall, UK. <My bet's on Lemnalia as the genus. Cheers. Bob Fenner> Link to comment

Scott Riemer Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 In the UK they call Colt Coral P****(as in cat) Coral. Link to comment
ebin Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 darn across the ponders with thier stupid metric system, and poor dental hygene. why would you nickname colt coral pussie? ps... you can keep Madonna Link to comment
Duncan Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Any leather type coral is just bad! I don't why it's catagorized as beginner coral. Colt (pussie), toadstool just slimes when it's unhappy and pollutes the entire tank. I would do large water change or have a protein skimmer running. Filterfloss helps too. Link to comment

pacatak795 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Oh be nice. The whole #####/colt thing is the whole idea behind scientifically naming corals anyway. He figured that by saying #####, we all knew what he was talking about, just as we would've if he had said colt. It's not HIS fault we call corals different names than him. All he wants to know is how to keep his colt from sliming so much. Y'all need to be nicer to the european friend. Link to comment
mike 1124 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I cant believe you are all so immature. sexy69bulldogs Im sorry people on here are behaving this way. Its amazing how just a different name can spark all this. Link to comment
Withers Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Well I thought ebin's post was clever, but oh well. Duncan had some good advice, I'd follow that. Link to comment
