[coralman123]

Japanese snowflake i think i have some in my tanks and would like to
know if it is or noti will post a pic of it so you can see what i have
and possibly get a scientific name of it also

Goniopora?

[seapug]

That's a soft coral, likely a Sansibia. There's a really nice blue variety that pops up in the trade every so often.

clavularia sp. blue anthelia or blue snowflake polyps i have em too. alot of people say 2 be careful wit them bcause they take over easily. so far ive had no problems

[coralman123]

it has been the tank for six or seven years and it has not growen very much

[ssminnow81]

yea i dont get it ive had it for maybe 4 months and very little growth. ive read ppl saying that it grew right over and smothered other corals

[Aquaticchaos]

I can vouch for the explosive growth.....I got a rock with it on it about 6 months ago and now I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of it....any suggestions?

Ya most of the time this stuff grows like a weed. But every tank is different. Some people have gsp, xenia, kenya tree that is invasive. Me, i cant keep xenia alive at all. For blue clove removal it is either smothering them with a putty or removing rocks
