I was hoping to find info about feeding this coral ...Echinopora mammiformis. There is not a lot of info anywhere.

Finer particulate feeds such as rotifers and oyster eggs. They capture Cyclop-Eeze as well.

Thanks for thes fast comments. This pic doesnt do it justice. I rearranged the whole tank to accomodate this one. Are these becoming more common now?

YoungReefer06 · 07/14/2009, 08:49 PM

is that a branching cyphastria (sp.)?

DustinLSX · 07/14/2009, 09:40 PM

I think it looks great! Is it an LPS?

That's one nice piece, put me in line for a frag of that

Maivortex · 07/16/2009, 07:20 PM

Its an echinopora.

We have had a couple over the years and they are easy to take care of.

They come in purple, shades of green and I have seen a baby blue. They are easy to frag due to branching and with the right conditions can grow fast (NOTE- they will slim when fragging). Bone cutters work well and in no time, it will encrust and branch out.

We usually put them in the sand bed, low light, med flow at the beginning and then slowly moved them up for more light and stronger flow. Feeding directly was not needed as they usually just took what was floating by.

Hope this helps...if you have any questions just ask.=)

i believe a more common name, in my area is chalice, many different colors and varieties. nice piece!!

as far as feeding goes, very fine particle foods as suggested but should not be necessary to target feed.

I was wondering if it´s a branching coral or if it´s just encrusting over live rock.

Amazing piece. Congrats
