how are is it to keep a red dragon? i was give a small one the other night and i just want to make sure it will live.

anyone? it looks good opened up pretty fast

It's not very difficult. You don't need a ton of flow or light for it to thrive.

 

[pimp2daizzo]

didnt think so i put it next to my wavebox so it get mod flow and kinda outter rim of the led light so its not cooking

 

[danreefman]

It likes medium to low light and flow. Pretty hardy and will live in pretty much any condition but it just loses it red the closer you get to the light. I keep mine in the bottom of my 20 high under t5, growth and color is awsome

Mine gets very little.

I have mine pretty high up and it gets good PE. It came from WWC and I see many different looking Red Dragons posted on RC. Mine seems to look more deepwater than some of the others.

I heard that WWC haven't around selling their own "version" of the red dragon and it is not the same coral as the original Red Dragon from the originators. That is probably why yours does not look the same as other red dragon pics. I could be wrong though...

 

[ReefyReef]

Just needs to color up. You are one lucky guy lol
