I love this coral! Very hardy, that's for sure. Mine (Pavona cactus) is growing under three 40-watt lights (1 cool white, 2 actinics). I use a wavemaker, but the colony isn't in the direct path of any major turbulence.

The nice thing when fragging it is that if you break branches off in the right places, the colony doesn't end up looking chopped up like some other corals do. The branches are so thin in cross section that a broken edge quickly looks just like another growing edge.
