I got one with over 10 heads for 20 bucks, it had a nice red color to it now it seems healthy but is a dull purple. IDK if it is my lights or if there is anything else I can do to get it to color up.

I have mine on the bottom right now with a med. flow in the tank....under LED lighting system....I target feed every other day....regualr WC at least 15%....only add calcium and SeaChem Fusion every two weeks...SALT 1.027ppm. What I have read they like med. lighting and med. flow. Maybe someon else with a little more experience will chime in.

He may be JDavid.....I feed mine different things at every feeding.......squid..rotifers...brine shrimp...mysis shrimp...cyclops..and phyotoplankton. When I feed i use a baster or syringe...i target a little around the coral to wake up the feeding tentacles and when i see the i put alittle in the center of the head and it will automatically draw the food in. If you have fish in the tank feed them first or they will steal the food...LOL
