altolamprologus Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Carnation coral. Non photosynthetic. Hard to keep. It's not a carnation, it's a scleronepthya aka flower tree. They are non-photosynthetic, but not nearly as difficult to keep as dendronepthya. Put it in an area of high flow and target feed it a mix of BBS, rotifers, phytoplankton, and some other filter feeder food everyday and it will be fine. Link to comment
Tenor Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 It is one of the most tricky solf coral to keep in the reef tank. The best way make it standing up right and open is mount the coral up side down in a cave and less light. Link to comment
