    I was wondering if Brain and Lobophyllia corals were more difficult to keep than say a frogspawn or hammer?

    I have frogspawn and hammers, as well as a pagoda cup in my 65 gallon..but I saw this piece tonite...as well as a few others that really caught my eye:
    InsaneCorals.com: Green and Purple Lobophyllia

    My frogspawn and hammers do really well... I have VHO lights in there... and I just give them mysis and zoo max once a week.

    Are Brain and Lobophyllias more care intensive ... do they need MH or are VHO's ok for them too?

    If you can keep those other lps corals, you should have no problem with brains or lobos. They require about the same amount of care as your Euphyllia corals.

    You may have figured right, depending on who is selling the coral :)

    I bought some zoanthids from these guys and they were pretty good with customer service and stuff... but I figured I'd ask on a forum before asking the seller :) ... I figure its better to get advice from a 3rd party..heh
