Carnation Coral

[Kimdive]

Hi there,

I'm looking for information on the Carnation Coral, I can only find general advice like high flow, low light and constant feeding, but how constant is constant?

Any advice would be greatly recieved.

Thanks

Several master reef keepers have mentioned to me that it is very difficult to successfully sustain carnation corals...

I know, that's why I am asking:lolspin:

And the fact no one has replied shows it also!

constant feeding meaning 24/7

low light helps reduce algae but the corals themselves don't seem to care

If you are going to try them, your best chances are with a NPS dedicated tank, it will make life much easier.

No problem. Good luck! Here's a recent pic of one of mine, I dose food 24/7 and run lights 4 hrs/day. This pic was taken with lights off and flash:
