flower pod coral

[xxseawolf]

has anyone had any experience with these corals? i saw one at a LFS and fell in love with it. i had a different LFS tell me because of the way they are collected(deeper waters) that they will most likely die off within 6 months. thanks for any help.

I think they are non photosynthetic (hope that’s the right word otherwise I will look like a right plonker!!) so need to be fed which could be another reason why they die, not to sure though hopefully someone else will chime in because I would like to know if the way they are collected can harm them too!!

when it comes to feeding i spotfeed all my corals.

Flower Pot corals are one of the most beautiful corals around. Also one of the most difficult to keep alive. Unless you have quite a bit of experience, I would pass on it.

So some research and you'll see what I mean (from sponsor sites).

Hold on, that didn't come out sounding right.

What I meant was look at some of the sponsor sites that sell corals and see what they say. Heck, you're doing research by asking the question. There, that's better.
