    :)I am thinking about orering a long tentacle plate coral. I did some research and understand they sting and need to be on the sandbed. I wanted to know what all of you think of them. Do they need extreme amounts of light? How aggresive are they? Can they move (Some reading I did said they sometimes do)? Anything else you could tell me would be great! In your opinion are they good corals to keep (not very difficult)? Any pictures you all have of yours would be awesome too!! THANKS!!;D

    I had one. It was cool but mine would move daily. And it would also inflate about 3x the size at any given time. Lost a colony of zoas from its stinging while inflated.
    I would get one again though. The one I had just didn't work out for me. Plus it was my first tank and I had no idea what I was doing lol
