    They are not the easiest to keep. Long term they can get very large. Very beautiful coral, though. I wouldn't buy one without seeing it in person.

    Wow a call out! Uh, i've never really seen the appeal of them. Plus they are kinda hard to keep from what I read.

    i guess my concerns are the sting, the possible size and threat to fish/inverts/ etc! Its ordered so any help is appreciated! It was a WYSIWYG so i feel alright with it! Have that a duncan, some shrooms and acans coming to fill out my sand bed with LPS and clams! decided after much though to stay the LPS clam route! I just like them better and like their ease compared to SPS!
