I am flattered by the above statement, but my system is not the sterile environment you believe it is.
I am dealing with a couple of issues that are being addressed as we speak.
Your Catalaphyllia looks pissy, could be from the move. I would watch it. The two I have continue to thrive and take over the sides of the tanks they are on.
What color are the tips?
As for the basics of caring for this animal it should be known that In the aquarium, strong currents are not appreciated by the C. jardenei, but some water movement is required. It also requires medium to strong light. Direct metal halides will burn the tissue, but diffused moderate light is appreciated. They can be fed occasionally. Foods in smaller proportions will be eaten greedily and will sustain the coral. Larger pieces will be accepted by the coral, but will later be regurgitated.
