New Coral
I picked this Fox Coral up today from the LFS where I work. I noticed it and had to have it. Can someone give me some advice or tips on placement, feeding and such. I could look up care online but I trust all you guys more. Thanks

i would give it moderate lighting and moderate flow. you want to see the polyps moving in the water column, but not getting pounded. alot of people have bad luck with these AND elegance corals because alot of books say moderate lighting and HIGH flow, but IME, moderate flow has had a much better outcome.

you guys slipped in some posts on me. it looks pretty well opened up, but it might get a little more polyp extension.

it's a fox coral. I really like it. Yeah I have it in a place where it gets pretty indirect flow.

it only cost me 45 bucks so I think it's a pretty good deal. most online retailers are selling similar sized ones for like 60
