    In general long tentacle plate corals are not hardy. Only the short tentacles ones are hardy. These usually do poor in home tanks after some time for reasons unknown to me. I used to feed mine too and he went downhill. My short tentacle is doing great with tentacles about 1/2 inch long and had him for 2 years. I kept both on the sandbad.
