Neospongodes

Also called a brocolli or califlower.

Anyone ever keep one? I just picked up a purlple and yellow one.

Any help on lighting and flow or feeding it.

Right now it's in a 20g long with a 150 HQI, I feed phyto, cycopleeze and mysis.

How much flow do these guys need.

Thanks.

Those are cool. I believe they are like photosynthetic versions of the impossible to keep Scleroneptheas. I'd keep it in good light and current-- strong surges are best. Good water quality is probably more important than worrying about what to feed at this point. Try to get a photo!

Thanks for the help. I really do appreciate it. I can't find much info on the Scleroneptheas, even on google. Is there a way you could tell me more, or give me a link or place to look. I really want this coral to thrive like the rest of mine. If I can get it to grow out, I think it would be an awesome centerpiece in my seahorse tank.

I did notice Liveaquaria has some they are selling as Purple Passion tree. Got some info off of there, but I'd love some from people who have kept them. They really are an amazing coral.
