Blue Palm Coral?

[jacknjill]

Does anybody have experience with the blue palm coral? I just saw it on this site today and i really like it.
What are the lighting requirements and does it need any special feeding?
Also if anybody has one a picture would be great.
I am basically just looking for general info on this coral.
Thanks!

Sposed to be really hard to keep them. Perfect water conditions etc.. I know of a site with more info on them.. but I cant give it to you!

They're called tunicates, they're not photosynthetic and are filter feeders. I've never kept them myself but have heard that they usually don't last long. If you get them you can try DT's phytoplankton, it says on the bottle it's for tunicates.

I would love to.. but soon your email will be removed and something along the lines of 'illegal link violation' or some crap will fill its space =c( I am so sorry.

Don't email her that site.....that site has a NOTORIOUS reputation.
The info you got here is correct. This is not a coral, it is a turnicate. I would not recommend it for new reefers at all. It ships poorly and has a significant failure rate in the hobby.
