    Hey there FF,

    Picked up 3 frags last weekend at the BBQ and forgot to ask what they are called, heres pics:

    These are my first SPS as well and I am very pleased, they seem to be doing awesome. Placed them about mid level with high/moderate flow, they get full light from my t5's. I run a 9am-9pm daylight cycle. Ca/alk 420/7.7, mag ~1280, 0 phos/nitrates. From what I gathered at the BBQ they pretty much take care of themselves via filter feeding with stable parameters. Any quick tips would be greatly appreciated though! Thanks again!

    The top one is a pink lemonade poci, cant tell what the second one in that picture is. The bottom picture is the ORA purple stylo. I would def light acclimate the poci and stylo. They have a tenancy to bleach out when moved and exposed to too much light. Poci/stylo/seriatopora are the most difficult sps to acclimate as they do not like to be moved a lot. There was a great article about this in a recent Coral magazine issue.

    SPS are great, they require no spot feeding, as long as you feed the tank. I use Reef Nutrition Oyster Feast on my systems to feed everyone. Just make sure you get the alk and ca dialed in and you are good to go.
