    I just got back from my LFS. I bought a flavia(not too sure on the spelling) but it kinda looks like a brain but its bright green. I have only had soft corals before. Any tips for me?

    Intense light, constant temperatures, moderate water flow and low nitrate levels, plus the addition of calcium will help with the toxins emitted by soft corals with adverse effects on stonies...
    Oh, by the way, this will be your second stony as your Frogspawn is also a large polyped stony coral(hermatypic).
