  Special Requirements and Information:
Echinata should be placed medium to low in the tank. Since they don't require bright light, they are a perfect and colorful addition to balance your colorful acropora. Begin low in the tank until they become acclimated and then move them where you want.
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 Acan.
Echinata are colony formers, so don't be surprised if new bodies form.
