Any suggestions or comments?
- Place small rocks under the Christmas tree rock to elevate it from the sand - porites will continue to grow around.
- Check if the light is sufficient for it, they are sps. I'm keeping mine at the top of the tank, but if your light is strong MH, it should be OK.
- Feed worms (R. Toonen's article (http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/sept2002/toonen.htm)).
- Check if flow is not too low (delivers food for the worms and porites still are sps) and not too high (example (http://enigmaticscience.blogspot.com/2007/02/currents-and-christmas-trees-feeding-in.html) of high flow).

How others were keeping and feeding their Xmas tree worms: 1 (http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=855516&goto=nextoldest), 2 (http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=11923278#post11923278), 3 (http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1049641) (my old).

HTH and good luck!
