pagoda coral

[finland]

I purchased a pagoda coral(turbinaia peltata) today and would like some input as to how hardy these are, feeding, water movement, lighting, etc.. I have researched these, but would like some real life input. You know how it goes, a book says one thing and in reality, you have better luck doing something else. Thanks

I have one in my 55 gallon, halfway up under 130W PC lighting in medium current and it is doing quite well. It took about three days for the polyps to start to fully extend. I feed alternating days with frozen brine, Kent Microvert, and DT's Phytoplankton. I usually squirt the Microvert directly across the coral while it is extended.
