Plate coral ?

So I got this coral from pet kingdom San Diego it already looks better. But I have heard LTP do not live long in captivity. Let's hear your experiences.

Sorry about the glass copepod bloom.

Really? Why don't they last?

And if you get to Sd make sure you visit sdcorals a lot bigger selection and really good prices. About 12 min from PK.

I tries saturday but the traffic sucked and we missed them by 2 minutes. They were closed sunday. On the plate coral I just read they don't last long.

Heliofungia actiniformis have a reputation for poor long term success. Probably the reason you do not see a lot of them in tanks or mentioned on forums. I had a few back in the 90's and they typically thrived for 3-5 months then failed to expand and slowly died. I hear they do better with direct feedings.
