  Unidentified SPS Coral #1

  This unidentified SPS coral was a survivor from the original live rock cure process. Originally bleached and left in the cure tube for over a week with no lights or filtration, the author noticed fuzzy white growth and decided to see what would happen. Within days it started turning light brown and showing polyp expansion, and has since been doing rather well in the tank.

  Unidentified SPS Coral #2

  This unidentified SPS coral came as a hitchhiker on rocks from Tampa Bay Saltwater in the Caribbean. While it's a slow grower, it has done well in the tank despite regular challenges with hair algae growing within its branches, requiring regular feeding of flake or frozen foods to maintain its health.

  Yellow Scroll Coral - Turbinaria reniformis

  This wild Turbinaria reniformis colony was about 5 inches wide and 5 inches high when obtained for free in January 2000. After three months of attempting to remove hair algae that had established in the coral's folds, the coral was declared a loss and removed from the tank to prevent further damage.
