Water-flow
Low-Medium water flow.
Lighting
This type of coral is very beautiful and adds some much needed color to any reef and coral aquarium. Under the right type of lighting you will also see several notes of yellow in the coral. In order to make the most of its coloration it needs to be under LED lighting or under Hybrid T5/LED lighting. In order to keep this type of coral healthy you need to have a light that provides at least 3 watts per gallon of water.
Placement
Low to Mid Level.
Diet and Feeding
At night their feeding tentacles extend on the inside edge of each polyp. If you feed them regularly with frozen PE Mysis, some marine snow and phytoplankton too they will reward you with fast growth.
