Dendrophyllia coccinea

[snorvich]

I am unfamiliar with this coral. How does one care for it? Does it require special feeding? Lighting? Thanks for any and all information or a reference to such.

snorvich,

Thank you for your patience. The most important consideration for Dendrophyllia coccinea is that it requires target feeding to ensure growth, as it does not contain photosynthetic zooxanthellae. Accordingly, it requires low lighting and low to medium water flow.
