  Special Requirements and Information:
Plate Corals are very cool additions to any tank that doesn't have predatory fish or corals. Because they lay on the substrate, they fill an area [in your aquarium] not normally occupied by other corals. Once they've acclimated to the tank conditions they have a tendency to move to an area of their own choosing. This one has a wonderful fuchsia color on the spines with cream colored tentacles that are presently in a retracted position.
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. Plate Corals will grow in width and should get calcium, strontium and iodine supplemental feedings.
