just picked up a beautiful specimen from union. it has a greyish/whitish color with light green tips . looks just like an anemone! anyways any body have some experience and good info to pass on? i know the basics and its obviously happy where i placed it (bottom on substrate with flow and good light). any other things i just keep in mind about them? should i feed it? thanks youuuuu all!

Very sensitive coral IMO. Never had long term success with them.

okay ...good to know...i will take care to watch it. it is very happy and has swelled twice as big as it was in the LFS. do you have any info that may help ensure thier health

Don't allow them to be damaged, and don't allow clownfish to molest them.

When I bought one my Clarkii moved into it. It didn't like that, then in my attmpt to relocate it to a place where the fish wouldn't bother it I dropped a rock on it and damaged the tissue. It never recovered. They are far more sensetive than the ST variety.
