this coral is much better recognized dead, it's bright
blue skeleton draws tourists to tropical seaside curio
stands like...well, you know to... well, you know. My
Heliopora has been with me over four years now, longer
than any acro, and may well have been the very first
so-called sps in the tank.
It has had a couple of very small bleaching events in
the past but it always seems to overcome them it's own
Not very high in the water column... |

| ...this
piece doesn't grow very quickly; it's maybe a foot
tall now, up from the 6-7" it was when I got
it. It's put down a very large base though, encrusting
three separate rocks below it in every direction.
The only real maintenance I do with this one is
to use a turkey baster to blow out it's little
crevasses of settled debris every once in awhile.
I included the overhead shot to show how much of
a trap those crevasses can be. |
