    Hardy coral, likes to be fed meaty foods, does well in the sandbed under T5 and MH lighting, I have a couple in my 120 under T5 and one in my 46 under MH. For placement would be sand bed ... :)

    Should be placed on the sand in a medium flow area. Can be fed with krill or other meaty items. Will need to have room to expand they will open up to 3 or 4 times the size of their skeleton.

    +1 on all above, its crazy how much mine extends sometimes.

    mine gets fed with my fish. at first i would dump half the food in then wait like 15 minutes fore the feeders to come out(which are tiny) then dump the rest in. now though the feeders are always out at feeding time. i also dump some cyclopleeze in about once a week.
