Branching Turbinaria care?

Any experience with this coral? And flow, lighting, placement? I just got a nice deal from the WWC live sale. As far as I can see it likes lower light.
Thanks,

Is it a hero

If it is I would recommend low flow and low light. I have had them in the past and I target feed them for the first month with great results.

We have a heronensis that's been in our QT system for almost 6 months. It's in the corner of the tank under 6 ATI coral plus and 2 ATI actinics about 7 inches below the surface. It's under what I'd consider moderate indirect flow and moderate light. It grows agonizingly slow, but it looks nice nonetheless.

Here is mine. Is it the same as the heronensis?

 

[Icemam457]

There two kinds there is heronesis and bifrons.

 

[Icemam457]

That one is heronensis

I had no idea these existed.

Definitely a unique piece worth checking out. If they grew a little faster, they would probably be more popular
