I don't know. The rock tends to irritate them when inflated.

Bueatiful coral and you can keep it in the rock. They should be fed mysis or brine often and lower in the aquarium and out of direct flow , so you do not damage the fleshy polyp .they also do not need alot of light.Great corals!!!:wavehand:

They prefer lower light, as std above. Put it low on your Reef. Actually, most people keep them on the sandbed. Be careful of their flesh, it tears easily..
And a great many fish like to eat them, unfortunately. They are like crack cocaine to most angels. Tangs and rabbitfish also partake. That is the greatest downside of keeping them IMO.
