quit buying frags you don't know how to take care of.

Research first, then Buy.

:lol: Bingo, you owe me a Diet Coke and a new keyboard!


alvintheclownfish, Stylo are pretty hardy coral, they like a lot of light but you should start the frag in a lower position in the tank and move it up so it doesn't get burnt by increasing light too quickly. They grow pretty quick and from what I remember of mine they can put out short sweeper tenticles so be aware of that when you position it.

If you don't have a copy already, one of the best books around for coral i.d. and care is Aquarium Corals by Eric Borneman. Great resource.

I found a way around that trap a long time ago. When I went to the LFS, I brought Borneman's book with me. I used it as a basic guide before I bought anything. Still didn't help when the LFS misidentified a coral I didn't recognize, but it did stop me from buying several hard-to-keep corals.

Thinking about it, the best LFS around here always had a copy of his book lying around for just such an emergency.
