  Special Requirements and Information:
An unusually difficult coral to keep. While they are nice additions to any reef tank, they require free floating organisms in the water column. Placing Flower Pots too close to the flow source can interfere with the act of extending the polyps and lead to starvation. Place low in the tank until they become acclimated and then move them where you want. If you use a high end protein skimmer you will remove most of their food source.
Feed anytime during the day. Once they're accustomed to your tank, they can be introduced to frozen foods such as chopped blood worms, artemia or squid. Place the defrosted food directly over the Flower Pot and watch the polyps extend and move to capture and move the foods to the mouth opening.
Very aggressive. They will attack their neighbors with their stinging cells They may propagate themselves or move on their own.
