One of my first corals, the first that wasn't a softie. 4 polyps when I got it over 1 1/2 years ago

This was included as part of a frag pack I got from Jay of TJM Corals, @usernam invalid I picked up last night; Reverse War Paint Bowerbanki. It filled and colored up right away. I told Jay I was looking to fill up some lower rock area in my tank, man did he hit the nail on the head with this one.

Here is a red Bowerbanki of mine. I find them pretty hardy and fun to feed. I also notice that if it is in close proximity to a coral it may not agree with... it will devour it within hours.

Very nice coral, Can you tell me what type of lighting it requires? I'm having a hard time keeping mine as I am seeing some receeding from the skeleton
 
Here's one I got from Wojtek's reef in Chicago last month. It seems to be losing a little color. Is the light too high where it is, or not high enough?

Just found this thread while trying to ID my banki color pattern. Anyone have any ideas?

Feed well and they will say thank you to the owner.

How often do you feed them?
