How difficult is A. humilis to care for?

[Winwood]

I am currently trying to rescue a colony of what I believe to A. humilis from one of the LFSs near my house. More than half the colony had receded from STNing but I believe most of that has stopped now. The store gave me the piece in addition to my other purchases in hopes of resurrect it.

I am curious to hear others experiences with this coral. The piece currently sits directly under a 400w Radium and is recieving a lot of flow. It is my understanding that these conditions should be favorable.

I will be happy to view any pics you all are willing to post of this coral as well!:spin3:[/I]

I find mine very easy to care for, it rarely loses color, as many other sensitive corals do.

That is nice to hear. Do you keep it up high? What kind of flow does it recieve?

I have a couple

pretty hardy. Color can be very tempermental in concern to my blue/turquoise one. When its looking its best it is one of my best, but it can lose much of its brilliant base and tip color with any swings or if it gets moved which I have done to it quite a bit in the last year or so. As you said high light high flow. My blue one isnt the fastest grower either. The green one Ihave only had for a short time but it grows much faster it seems(for me)

My little fighter is a green one as well, I'm hoping it takes after yours.

I found it average to care for, neither hard or easy.

I found color to be difficult to keep on the blue ones, turning mostly brown.

Ok well I am a little more at ease, thank you everyone for your responses.
