Galexia needs

[ctgretzky9]

Bought some for my tank a week or so ago attached to a peice of rock. For now, I have the rock sitting at the bottom in an open space as I was waiting for LFS to get in some marine glue so I can attatch rock to rock without a reef-a-lanche.
I cant find a good requirement description on light and feeding. I have 250 mh pendant and my tank is a 60 hex-so it is deep. How close up to the lights should it be, and what shall i feed? So far, it has "caught" and eaten everything from flake to frozen brine to daphnia. It is already spreading on the rock well and filling in a space that was burnt by another coral at lfs (he sold it to me for half price because of this)
Any help on this species would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know too much about them, but I've heard they have pretty long stinger tentacles and should be kept pretty far from others.

Pyro is right. They have long sweeper tenticles and in my experience they grow rather rapidly. As far as conditions, strong waterflow, and I would be comfortable placing it low to mid level in the tank.
Good luck.

I have one, it was my first coral. I have it located halfway up in my tank and it's sweepers get to about 6 to 8 inches. It seems to be thriving in my tank and I have 440 watts of VHO, so I would say your lighting is OK. As far as keeping it neer other corals, mine is nest to my hammer and they are both fine. The sweepers have allways traveled upwards and the hammer is right below it. So I would suggest not having it on the bottom because the sweepers will go up and touch corals above it.
