Is anyone keeping Scleronephthya alive yet?
I would like some tips and ideas on keeping them.

My lfs has it in their frag tank for the last 3 months is it a hard coral to keep.

Well, some say that it's easier than dendronephthya, but it's still one of the really hard NPS corals.
Do you feed your corals?

Hello, I have 7 of them 1/2" to 6" , bought on 1/15/18. I've been documenting progress with some pictures. I'm organizing them as we speak and eventually show them. I also have 9 carnation same size. After extensive search for scientific papers on net. I found info on what they eat.
A lot of algae. I put Chaetomorpha in blender, stain, add DT water. Dose approx. 20 ml every 4 minutes, all day long. I control nitrate at 5-10ppm with 3 sulfur denitrators. There still alive two carnation corals not so good, hoping maybe they will make it. When I bought all except the one in picture where close to dead. Hope this helps.
