They are a very misunderstood coral. There is nothing I can say that hasnt been said already about them but I would disagree that they are difficult to keep. They seem to vary greatly from one specimen to the next for lighting tolerances. I generally keep them either shaded or completly under but they wind up growing into the light and it always makes me nervous but doesnt seem to bother them.
Mine are always hungry. If your keeping carnations in your tank I would suggest first finding your tanks tolerances for food without overfeeding or sacraficing water quality.
