Orange Carnation / Orange tree coral .
Advice and recommendations for this type of coral ?
I've read a lot of articles on this coral . Other than them not living in an aquarium for more than a year can I have some direction ?
Feeding the coral is my real concern
I do know low lite but do you hang them upside down or just place in a shadowed area ?
Do I feed with a blend of trace elements ?
Is Microvert and cyclopeze the favorites ?

I have had one for over a month now, doing really good, yes low light (or lower light). I have it sitting on the bottom of the tank, in a shaded area, I am actually thinking of moving back into a cave more, not upside down but just backup into the dark cave. As far as feeding I do feed things in my tank every three days or so, I have a couple of things that do need to be fed, chilli coral, sun coral, and I like to feed my trumpet, candy cane, duncan and plate coral. I just use a mixture, DT, phyto, Cyclopeze...(there are other stuff in the mix but that is more for the other corals).
Hope this helps a little.

Yes it does . Thank you . Nobody really knows much about them " in print" that I can find . They print stuff but I think it's just a blanket copy for corals .
Can you post a photo so I can see what it looks like ? Ya know to see how mine would compare to a regularly fed one ?
