Nope, I have not kept one, they are hard to get down here. I would think being a matting polyp they would be an easy coral. The brain coral I have is doing much better since I have been forcing myself to feed it after lights off when tentacles come out. I knew that they required feeding but I was being lazy. :laughing:

I have fed mine.....and they flourish...then all of a sudden they start to go downhill :( I'm just tired of it......I am also tired of "trying" things.....
I think I'm going back to the RC salt too......I have seen NO improvements with the $100 salt....so why spend the money on it anymore
