Dec 27, 2018 · The Darth Maul Porites is easy to get and hands down the most pure red Sps coral I've ever seen. Purple Porites is also available in aquaculture circles. The one with the white polyps is the nicest.

Dec 4, 2014 · I assume porites aren't seen much because of the slow growth rate and in terms of encrusting corals, the colorful and fast growing option of montis may be preferable for many. I don't know anything about how porites do in combat against acros in turf warfare.

Jun 15, 2022 · Hey all - I picked up a darth maul porite from the LFS today - did some chatting, did some Googling and everything seems to agree on moderate flow and moderate to high light. But how high? I have the Fluval Marine LED Bluetooth Nano light - and the manufacturer specs have the light at 600 par...

Jan 7, 2023 · I added a new/first Porites (“Yellow Fever” - it’s purple with yellow dots) on Monday and since adding its polyps have been extended to the max - so much so that most of the time you can barely see the yellow dots at each polyp. Is this normal? Is it good/neutral/bad? Should I be doing anything...

This coral was measured in March 2021 during citizen science research of coral reefs in the Palm Islands group. We conducted a literature review and consulted...

Dec 16, 2017 · Shedding of porites is normal, nothing to worry about. Just make sure it has good flow. I would try to spot feed the Christmas tree worms more often, they need to eat.
