Re: Anybody keeps non-photosynthetic corals and will talk shop?

They are the red christmas tree worms that come in their own tubes not on porites. I find them locally, not as big as coco worms.
I also had a small christmas tree porites for a long time in the 180. I kept them under one of my returns and they did fine.

Just a large variety of frozen foods (daphnia, brine shrimp, mysis, minced krill, cyclopeez, etc) at least 2-3 times per day. Live phyto every few weeks is good too, I just don't do it anymore.

Definately wise to have a good skimmer, refugium, frequent water changes so you don't foul your tank with all the nutrients that these guys need.
Actually a lot of corals in general like good flow. I have a huge green toadstool leather thats literally right in front of my tunze, it never slimes over because it gets constant flow.
