Hello,

Anyone know what this is and what type of lighting this requires?

Oops... nothing again...

Lets do it again...

The easiest way is to hit reply button on the lower right part of the thread.... like this one below...

then when done writing your text.... on the lower part of the screen you will see "BROWSE" ... need to look for that picture of yours from your hard drive...

be careful of the filesize. you need to make it at least 50kb for dial-up users....

Try this first then I will tell you how to do the fancy way...
 
definitely does not look well....

*laff* at first i thought it was a candy cane with all the heads broken off.
 
I picked this up yesterday from a friend yesterday to bring back to health.

Any ideas on how to nurse this?
 
Looks Like A Candy Cane Or Trumpet Coral

2 Names One Coral

That One Is Barely Alive:oops:

They Are Hardy Though- So Good Luck

Medium Lighting Medium Current Is What My Two Types Like
 
I would put that on the bottom of the tank with something porous(strawberry basket...)over the top of it to keep any critters off it. You need to keep the stress level to 0 for that trumpet for a while. I hope it works out for you.
 
It would be one heck of a come back if you get that Torch to make it. They are hardy indeed but that one has so little left.

Depending on what kind of lights was it under(looks like it was getting little light) if you have MH in your reef, you could start by placing it low in the water column for a couple of days and gradually move it up a little higher to more light and also moderate current.
 
It looks like a candy cane/Trumpet coral gone south. It could be a Torch Coral though. Kinda hard to tell. I agree if you can bring that baby back to health again, you indeed will be "The Man"! God luck with the guy though....
