I let the LFS talk me into buying this without knowing anything about it. He gave me a name, but I can't remember what he called it. Does it require any special care, or just good light & good flow? Thanks!!

time to do some research..fast
good luck!

Yea I know, that's why I'm asking. :worried:

I've told my wife a thousand times "I can't buy that, I don't know what it is". Now here I am posting this question..

Looks like hydnophora

 

[kaihonu82]

i think fishyvet is right

 

[conefree]

looks like hydnophora to me. Beautiful coral, but keep it a good distance from any other corals. They love to attack and digest their neighbors. Good light and flow will keep it happy.

its hydnophora... i have 1.

i have one too. I got it from LiveAquaria.com as an "Endive Hydnophora Coral - Aquacultured"

i have it in a decent flow in the top 1/3 of my tank.
i have been feeding the tank mysis and spirulina gutloaded brine. At night i have been occasionally feeding baby brine into the fuge outflow. I have only had it for a few weeks but it seems to be doing well.

i don't plan on putting much near it.
