they are a very fast growing coral that will take some unwanted nutrients out of your tank. i have read that they feed on DOM and prefer a dirtier tank. i just started to use ro water four months ago and they started to slowly melt away, but now that they are used to the cleaner water they have bounced back. i have them in my tank for nutrient export and i put them in a spot where i can easily manage them. in your fuge would be an even better idea.
