Medium to low light, low flow, occasional feeding if needed, clean water parameters but not ULNS, don't keep fish and inverts that will irritate these corals. Dwarf angels and some tangs love to pick on these corals.

I got 7 fairly nice ones....need to snap some pics. These are the best bang for the buck when it comes to color in LPS IMO......so awesome and under appreciated.

 

[darryl_v]

macro of a nice nuke green one I have, cool thing with this one is it's developing a baby blue ring along it's mantle not shown here though:

This was shortly after I first got her a day or so?:
