    I have mine in an area that doesn't get a lot of flow. Dang coral is annoying as can be. Looks kind of pretty but will multiply and take over your tank. Mine drops a couple branches every other week. Nobody wants them, I give them away as I can.

    My thinking on that type of coral is to have it where it will receive agitated current as opposed to a steady flow. It is nice to have some LPS to show you where the cross currents are.

    please take my advise, dont put this coral in your tank, its like the plague! It will spread and become a problem make my words. I give mine away for free every few months...

    To be more sensitive to others, one persons plague is another persons pleasure.
