  Special Requirements and Information:
Amazing coral that is a welcome addition to any experts tank. Since Ridge Corals (sometimes called lettuce, cabbage or ruffled corals) are filter feeders, they should be placed near the water flow. Avoid a "too-clean" tank as this will deplete the food source that's necessary for optimum health.
Feed zooplankton and live rotifers [when available]. Use a turkey baster directly over the coral. Rotate the water flow while feeding to keep the food from blowing away from the coral.
Non-aggressive toward neighbors.
