Special Requirements and Information:
Carnation corals are fascinating additions to
your tank, but are not for the beginner. Watch them
inflate and deflate throughout the day as they
feed.
Placing carnations too close to the flow source
can injure their bodies. Keep them in the middle
of the tank and away from other corals.
Feed often as they are not photosynthetic and
require food in the water column. The best food
is live phytoplankton. They are unable to accept
food any larger than phytoplankton.
Can be VERY aggressive towards sensitive
neighbors, so consider that in your placement.
Will be difficult to keep if you have a high
powered protein skimmer.
