Candy Cane/Trumpet Coral

Can anyone tell me the difficulty in maintaing this coral? I have done alot of research on this coral and have found greatly differing opinions. Some feel this coral to be very hardy while others consider it a very difficult one to keep.
Any information or experiance that you could share would be greatly appreciated!

same as any LPS IMO. med to high light and not move it. put it in your tank with fair flow but not enough to blow the polypes around and leave it alone.

occasional spot feeding of small meaty foods after dark couldnt hurt either.

Mine is very easy to keep. I pull him out of the tank each week to spot feed each polyp, even though you don't hafta do that. But when I got him he was almost dead, he has recovered and grown nicely.
IMO, easy to keep if your tank meets the lighting and flow requirements
