They are one of the easier LPS corals, IMO. A great beginner coral. I love my trumpets!

Fun corals. Easy to please. Under the right conditions they will grow a new polyp every 2-4 weeks. I keep mine low on the bottom under T5 in the display. In the frag tank they are under PC lights and closer to the top. I feed mysis and other frozen foods with a turkey baster.

Still looking for camera. $27 12 polyps. They don't seem to be opening. Pic coming.

What color trumpets are they? I have brown ones with green centers that NEVER have opened, not once in 5 years. On the other hand, the pale blue, pink and green ones seem to open a lot more readily.

Congrats,super easy LPS coral.Feeding them when the lights are out and the feeder tentacles exposed will make them multiply even faster.Otherwise no feeding is necessary.

Hehehe. When I read the title of your thread, I thought to myself...that's strange to list new musical instruments on the living reef site. Then I opened the thread. Wow, do I have a lot to learn! lol :compute:

Mine are neon blue and it looks like they may never open also. They do seem to be eating. It seems with most of my corals, that the zooxanthellae keeps them alive but only meat will make them grow.

Funny, I thought the same thing. I was going to ask Brass or Silver? ;)

I replaced the stock lights with a Sunpod 150 watt MH.

I noticed some tentacles coming out of this coral this morning --bigger than the super-thin sweeper tentacles.
