Christmas Tree Coral - Sphaerella spp

Does anyone have any hands on experience with this coral? I'm putting my selfish christmas list together and can't find any info out there other than Live Aquaria's little info. Thanks

All I have so far is hat they are nps and need "platonic food." While I may already have it covered, an actual food source or size would be better

Did some digging around. It is a sand dwelling, non photosynthetic from what I was able to find. Seems to be one of the hardier soft nps corals though. I would say it should be fine as long as you keep up with its feeding requirements. It seems to be somewhat similar to a carnation coral.

Thanks, there's a ton of info out there about carnations so that gives me a good jumping point
