Nice!

Quick question, what type of lighting are you using? Corners always seem like a difficult shape to light properly.

i have 2 175 watts mh 10k and 4 65 watts actinics

you are right,thanks

Brain, are they difficult to care for?

 

[wantsalotta]

They are a quite easy to care for, They will do well under bright lighting, if acclimated to it. They like medium indirect (read, random..you have that covered with your OM 4 way). This is an acanthastea species, which is still somewhat of an "in" coral, so they fetch pretty high prices for 1" frags. Nice colors can go for 20 to 60 $. LE's and really rare colors can fetch upwards of $100

Each mouth that you see has nice big feeder tentacles similar to a caulastrea, and they like regular feedings of meaty foods, but this is not neccessary for survival/thriving.
