Massive flow. And Im sorry. Theres no evidence that anyone has kept one successfully in captivity for extend amounts of time..

Your tank would need to be designed around NPS to even consider this animal.

Agreed. I have killed several. Any who can keep this in captivity will be awarded the Nobel prize in aquaculture.

So this sea fan deteriorated quick after my move. I will never try one again knowing what I know now. Beautiful coral but impossible to keep.

Sorry dude.
yea absolutely beautiful. It's the one that took me down the long dark path of learning everything I possibly could about water, coral , food, minerals, bacteria and flow.
