Candy cane coral question

[alyssia]

Are candy cane corals hard to care for? I thought I read on here that they were fairly easy but in the description it says they are difficult. I have PC lighting. Do they do okay with this? I have 260 watts on a 75.

I have 4 different kinds under 384w PC in my 65 and they are doing ok.

I have one in my 20 gallon holding tank under two 65 watt pc lights and it's doing great. I find them easy to care for.

I have 260 watts of PC's on a 55 and mine are doing awesome. if you tank is 2ft tall like mine they'll be fine. (75's are just wider than 55's right?) If so go for it. to boost growth you can feed 'em at night when their tentacles come out.

I just checked out the candy cane coral too. I wonder why they say it is difficult? I think I'm going to get one. Every one told me they are easy. I like them.

I have them in a 65g tank under 139w of T5, about half way up the tank and they do great.

I just ordered one. What kind of flow do they like? Do I have to put it on the sand?

I have mine under 300w 14k MH with a medium flow and they are happy as can be. Ive never had to feed them anything.

Does it matter if I put it on the rocks or in the sand?

Mine are on the rocks. I guess its up to you where you want to place it. You might want to place them higher considering you dont have alot of light. I would try and place them mid tank and see how they do.
