today at the LFS i saw a xmas tree coral, looks really cool, had lots of worms of all differnt colors, would have got it but dont know anything about them, and cant seem to find much on the web, what do they need as far as light and all that? anyone have one or know about them? pls post if so, thanks.

Shouldn't you be looking up two corals? Spirobranchus ssp and Porites?
But not necessarily, what were the worms using as a host?

they were hosting porites, but after searching on here for a while and reading alot of old posts i dont think ill be getting them, sounds very hard to keep alive and sounds like i dont have enough light at this point, so ill just leave them be for the time be. thanks for info.
