Any tips on keeping the Hawkins Echinata

For me, it is a pretty hardy coral. It is bluer with higher light, and greener with low light. From what I heard, they don't react well to dipping. I have mine low, directly under a 250watt radium in moderate flow.

Beautiful coral above. I would second the smooth skinned acros don't like dips. Good luck with it

Fast grower. Move it up slowly. May be touchy when fresh cut. A.turaki

Do they hate dips even with something like Revive which isn't iodine based?

Revive is a pretty harsh dip, I wouldn't risk it.

Good flow, mid to high light. Stick it somewhere and leave it alone like any SPS!

Like it is mentioned above, mine is bluer in high light and a blue-green in low light. It grows pretty fast in a tabling fashion for me with high flow and high-ish light under LEDs.
