  Special Requirements and Information:
Previously named Acrhelia horrescens, the Galaxea horrescens corallites seems to spiral around it's branches as opposed to other corals where they appear random. In the real world, this Galaxea lives away from the shoreline.
Feeding should be light during the day with the full feeding at night. Feed plenty of phytoplankton and add calcium, magnesium and strontium as supplements. Once they're accustomed to your tank, they can be introduced to frozen foods such as chopped blood worms.
They have extremely powerful nematocysts and can attack neighbors, so give them plenty of room
