    Yes Corailline they did advertise it as a flower pot coral from where i bought it, I am quite skeptical myself if it actually is one.

    As for caring for the spiral coral I just turn off all the pumps and hand feed it with a syringe, typically giving it rods food or cyclopeeze and keep the pumps off for like 30 mins until its done eating....

    Well it's an NPS so I try to feed it like 5 times a week... With that being said I usually grab some food when I'm feeding my fish and other corals too.. So it pretty much gets fed every day....

    Here's a FTS(sort of) with my ####ty digital camera, but it will do for now..Sorry some of the corals are closed up I just finished doing a water change/tank maintenance so they are just a tad agitated :)

    Thank you! The second pic is Blue and Green Sympodium Polyps. The third pic iswhich I'm guessing is the one you meant to ask about) is a Acalycigorgia sp. aka Blueberry sea fan.
