bubble coral

[zshain012]

hello, I recently purchased a bubble coral. I have read about people keeping them successfully in Biocubes. I have mine at the top so it can get the max amount of light. It seems to be doing well. I feed my scallop phytofeast which it says feeds corals also. My calc is good. Is there anything else I should do to make this coral happy?

IMO bubble coral is not a good candidate for a bio-cube they get rather large and are aggressive. I have my bubble in a 110 g and it has grown to be among the largest corals I have. That being said here is some info on the bubble

Okay thank you. I've heard it's rather aggressive. I am either going to trade it at my lfs or get a bigger tank.

yeah that's what I was thinking because I don't want to get rid of it. I think bubble corals are pretty unique, not rare, just unique
