well, after finding out tonight that mine is a colt and not a finger leather.... I can tell you mine is thriving at 74-79 degrees(temp varies with lighting and time of day), salinity 1.028, pH 8.3, 440 Ca, Mg is a big ??? middle of the tank with T6 4x54, not direct flow but a strong current and loving every minute of it! I squirt it with coral frenzy every few days and it's very happy,........... has even darken real nice since the addition of the T6's as compared to the pc's I had....

have you done water changes lately and what are your parameters?

I keep mine off to the side of the tank seems to be a good place for them. Medium to low flow and they dont neen overly bright lights. OH I heard here somewhere that they should not go in the sand but on a rock on top of sand is fine.
hope that helps

Thanks. I have it in the sand, but I can move it.

how long have you had it?

[pwoller]

Just got it, I wedged it in a rock and it started to bend over. I moved it to the sand bed until I refrenced my number one resource, 3reef.
