    I think I have found my favorite coral. Yep it's the beauty in the attached pic. Closed brain or moon brain, or pineapple brain. Here's my problem, I don't know what I gotta do to maintain it. SOooo here I am posting, asking questions, before I get it. What lighting, flow, food, compatability, anything else?

    I would appreciate a heads up.

    Pineapple brains need moderate lighting and moderate water flow. If your planning on keeping him in your 10 gallon with the 28 watts, in my opinion, that's not enough. If you just had about 10 more watts. He might do ok under what you have, but why take a chance and kill a coral. Any more questions?
