Default First LPS Trumpet Coral

OK I have read up on it and found this was a good choice for the first LPS. But after all the reading I still have a question. They say it has short sweeping tentacles. How far should I keep it from other corals?

If it's Caulastrea sp., then it's a fairly benign coral. I give mine about 4" to grow. It's tentacles are about 1/4-1/2" at most. Keep it in bright, indirect light with good actinics and watch it grow and glow.

Thanks It is a beautiful Coral. It has really puffed up and is bigger in my tank then it was at the LFS. I just did not have a clue as to spacing.

I never did post a pic so I thought I should. I also made a short 20 sec. movie so you can see it move. I spend hours on end watching my coral's wave in the current.



Just click pic to start movie.
