Carnation Coral

I was told to post some pictures of this Carnation Coral before it "shriveled up and died." (you know who you are ) These corals have a very low success rate in aquariums. Anyways, I've had it for about 6 months, and it's survived all of the ups and downs, and is still going strong. I read that they may like to be hung upside down, so I thought I'd give it a try. Has anyone else had success with these? I don't want it to die!!!!

Beautiful piece Cory. I tried those a long time ago and didnt have much luck. Well done!! That sponge looks cool too. I still have lots of the purple photosynthetic one I was telling you about. Let me know if you want a hunk.

Looks like we should be taking advice from you on how to keep these! I had one before but I think I had too much light, too much flow, and too clean of water. Awesome piece and awesome job!

I had one that did well for several months. However, I changed salt and lost it within day's. It was doing fine as long as there were no significant changes.

Yours is so very pretty. When I first saw the carnation coral I wondered why I hadn't seen any in other tanks. I soon found out why.
