Question about Orange Tube Coral

[Doherty]

I was thinking about adding Orange Tube Coral to my new setup...... From my research i know that they prefer low light conditions. I have PC's for my 20gal cube tank which has a depth of about 17in, 36w 10k, 36w actinic.

I also know that do not contain a symbiotic algae, so it must be fed.

-Will my current lighting meet the needs of this coral?

And does anyone have any helpfull hints, tips for good care, or things to look out for with this LPS.

Your lighting is plenty, as you said they are low light corals, I actually have them under 250w MH's but they are in a cave...they will need to be fed brine shrimp or mysis shrimp, and I usually do this and mix DT, phyto and what ever else I have have laying around...Turn of all your pumps so there is little water movement and then feed the coral.

It would do just fine in your system as long as you are willing to feed it as needed.

I have mine in a cave area. and a power head pointing in it's general area. Not blasting it but a good steady flow just above it. I feed mine cyclopeeze evernight, I just put a syringe in the stream from the power head and blast away! Mine has actually shot babys out throughout the tank
