    As long as your params are optimum and good lighting it will be a fairly hardy coral. However the type and amount of flow will determine the type of growth. These corals can spread out and be quite branchy in low flow or be very close cluster like bushes in high flow. Hope this helps.;)

    I have a koralia 2 in a 10g nano pointed at it. Pump flows from front right to the back left corner and the nest is back left corner.

    Very fast grower under medium light and high flow.

    People told me to keep my nitrates below 5ppm, i have a red cap, a green cap and a birdsnest and my nitrates get up to 10ppm before i do a water change. I am already getting good growth out of it.
