Lol awesome. Its kinda swirly in texture. I know its not the best pic. So high light high flow? The lady I got it from had extremely high nitrates. Are they more forgiving?
 
+1 t mr wrasse. These corals are very terrotorial and will kill any coral it touches. Give it lots of room and secure it in place. Looks good!

Yeah I have read the like dirtier water almost like lps but I honestly dont know on light and flow. Never had one due to their aggressiveness lol and 20 is a good price
 
Sweet. I thought looked interesting and could be a good steal. If anyone knows lighting and flow that would be great. My entire top of my tank is empty so plenty of space.
 
Hydnophora for sure... High light and high flow are the key. They will nuke anything that touches them so keep it by itself in the tank away from tank mates.
 
I have it in high light high flow completely alone. Closest thing is a RBTA that is about 7 inches away. So I should be good. Thanks for the info
