Any body has this coral?
Is it hard?
What lights & flow it needs?
Is it true that this coral should not be exposed to open air? if so, how do you put it in the tank?
 
Hi,if it is a regular purple gorg that you have,then moderate/high light with good flow should encourage growth.If it has brown polyps,then it will definatley prefer high light.As for not being exposed to air,if it is only for a few seconds:say after acclimating & then moving to display tank,it should be fine.HTH
 
How long till the polyps starts to open?
Do they open only when you feed them?

Do direct flow is the best, correct?
 
I'm not quite sure what kind of critter u r describing but i do have a purple gorg, nonphotosynthitic and lives under one of my rocks with no problems, feeds of of the water column and polyps are pretty much out 12 hrs every day.
