What LPS likes strong currents?

[ervine]

Hi guys,

What LPS likes strong currents huh? There's a spot in my tank which most corals don't seem to do well in because of the wavemaker pointing at the spot (can't really redirect the wavemaker)..

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Hammers??

They like strong currents and good lighting

They do? But won't they close up when the wavemaker kicks in? (my wavemaker runs on timer)

GSP...

GSP...

GSP == Green star polyp ??

not a LPS leh , i thought it is a soft coral?

Green Star Polyps(GSPs) belongs to soft corals.

i dun tink most LPS love strong current, maybe slighty stronger for those torches but most of the hard corals cannot tolerate strong current directed at them IMO..

put a sps lor. strong current and strong light...that's the best ingredient.

If you put a hammer there, with strong current, eventually it will lose it's head.

May be a RBTA if you like anemonie. They love strong current and strong light.

my m820 blowing directly at my torch and he still open big big.

[Alvin Tan]

torch can tolerate a high level of current...but tinks similar to it lyk hammer cannt...
