    the seconed is a orange carnation keep in low light at the bottom in the sand take and cut a empty water bottle bottom off take the cap off cover the cernation with it squrit in some kind of phytoplankton or zooplankton making it cloudy put the cap on for 20 or 30 mins. once a day you can give it a try you might be able to keep it i belive they shouldnt be taken from the ocean but scence its there i dont want to see it die. they dont grow that big so dont worry about it out growing the spot

    I #1 that !!!!

    A few weeks ago, I bought 2 " Carnation Leathers ".. Thinking ALL Leathers were easy to keep..

    Mine were Stereonephthya spp. Which are Azooxanthellate.....

    I lost them both.. Not knowing what I was buying.. Learned alot..
    Not to EVER buy a coral that's Azooxanthellate ..

    I didn't mind loseing the money..
    But I hate to lose any corals..

    Good luck with it, but keep a very sharp eye on it..

    Later, Larry
