Fire Coral has spark some interest with me. I'm wondering do people keep it n their aquariums? is it illegal or insanely rare to find. I feel like there's not to much info about it out there so if anyone has any knowledge please enlighten me.

Sounds largely unpopular due to severely painful stings and nuisance level fast growth.

Yeah i can understand why its not popular or even something that is kept in aquariums besides large exhibits. I think there is also a possibility is illegal to keep it in captivity its just hard to find specifics on that. But in my opinion i think it would be neat to have in a tank maybe there is a way to keep that nuisance level growth down.
In the wild fire coral is extremely competitive for space and will often smother other corals and gorgonians in an aggressive manner.

I had a colony years ago. It spread rapidly and they naturally grow up gorgonian skeletons. A shop near me does have a small colony in one of their display tanks.
