    Good luck, Philly!!! I hope your bubble-coral does very well.

    Your link is messed up though. Don't know what's up with it. Says, "Page cannot be displayed." Hmmm...

    Thanks for posting, Philly. ;D

    Phil... Good luck on your bubble. Just a little info on your bubble, they do not seem to object to direct light at all. Low to moderate current is important in allowing the vesicles to expand fully. The tentacles of the bubble corel are quite potent, and may form elongated sweeper tentacles that are more than capable of damaging almost any corel on contact. Feeding is eagerly welcomed by these large-polyped corals. They are remarkably durable aquarium additions that seem most likely to suffer from brown jelly infections. These infections are frequently brought about by a fall or mishandling that tears or punctures a bubble. Keep us posted on its progress.
