Were do all of you keep them?
I have read varying opinions, I have 384 watts of PC in a 90. I have it half way up on an angle in moderate flow. It opens everynight to feed and seems content, just wanted to see what others are doing with more experience with them.
Thanks,
Brian

I've only had mine for a couple months but it seems to like low/moderate lighting with mod flow.With PC's middle of aquascape should be fine.I like to place it with the margins touching some LR so it might grow on them.Mine will respond with tentacle display when i feed the tank.They have deeply immersed corallites which allows food/detritus to collect in them making capture easier.Mine seems to be undemanding as far as care after it was acclimated to captive conditions.Good luck with yours,how about a pic?
