Bubble Coral Care

[Patriot54]

I will be getting a bubble coral within the next week and am doing some research on it. I've done some reading up on them and was wondering what the general consensus was as far as lighting, flow, and placement (sand or rocks). Any and all help is appreciated. Pictures are welcome too!

Mine likes low flow medium light and fed a few times a week. They will grow fast if the conditions are right. Mine is about a year old. When I first got it was the size of a Baseball. Here are some pictures.

Very nice! How far do the sweeper tentacles come out? Is any of the flesh in contact with rock?

Mine sits in the sand. It does not seem to like rubbing against things. It likes flow that makes it bounce, it wont open all the way if the flow is to much. Very tough coral, it was one of my first. My tentacles come out only at night or when it is fed maybe an inch or two. These are great corals, a real crowd pleaser.

What you see is pretty much it. Mine likes to come out during the day and shrivels up at night. My Clown also hosts the Bubble?
