Studeriotes sp. Or "Christmas Tree Coral"

[Trevor Paden]

Has anyone had success with studeriotes sp. before? There is verg limited information online about them. I managed to procure a specimen and will be posting my experience attempting to keep one.

I believe that some people have had success in the short term (6 ish months) but in the long run (over a year or two) I don’t believe many are successful.

Kept one a few years ago. They are a non-photosynthetic coral, therefore must be fed. They also bury their foot in the substrate so you need a deeper area for it with finer gravel. Mine was not happy with strong flow.
