    Picked this up the other day - It is doing really well, extended within the first few hours of being added to the tank. Anything special I should know about these corals?

    Thanks!

    Don't blast it with flow, moderate lighting, and feed it some small pieces of mysis a couple times a week :) Also keep it off the sandbed as Euphyllias do not do well when covered with sand, but keep it lower in the tank if you have good lighting, higher if you don't.

    I grew alot of euphylia when I had my 75, and saw some great growth. And one my favorite parts about this hobby is hand feeding the corals. But I could never EVER get my euphylias to eat anything. So, if you find yourself in the same situation (and get carried away like I did), try not to over feed.
