First I've learned of this awesome looking coral!

Really different green from all the other greens in my tank

Watch out for it's sweepers. Mine had 10" sweeper tentacles.

Quote "IMO much worse than galaxea" that's something to be said. My glaxia is well seperated from everything else.

Mine galaxea is pretty chill...hasnt swept in a month.
It used to sweep a good 9in around.

I prune mine back to a disc of 2-4" which keeps the sweepers down. Otherwise it'll hang out a good 6"+ and will kill antything it can touch.

Good to know....It hasn't put out sweepers yet....flow or depends on neighbors?

Fish got in the way, but you can get the placement idea....only thing close to it is the JF Burning Bananna Stylo, which I hear is ready for any fight.
