    Well I purchased this guy a few months ago and it has settled in nicely and has really begun to grow. I got for a steal IMO opinion at $15 for a single head. Now it has sprouted two new little guys. It was one of those corals that I was looking for for quite a while and is definitely one of my favorites.

    That's what I love about them. They are non photosynthetic too so no matter what kind of lighting I've had it under, the color never changes.

    Where did you get it? What does it take to take care of one of those?

    I got mine from uniquecorals.com during their 40% Cyber Monday special. Since they are nonphotosynthetic all it takes to take care of them is good water parameters, like any other coral, and regular feedings. Since they don't need specific lighting reqs, you have to make sure you target feed them. They readily accept any meaty kind of frozen food I've given them. They will even take most flake food and mine have even taken sinking shrimp pellets.
