    I recently got this coral today. The person who sold it to me had no idea what it was. Can anybody recognize this and let me know what kind of lighting and water current this may require. So i can set it up on the perfect spot on my tank. Thank you.

    I thought all of your creatures, sand and rock were collected wild?

    yah it comes from divers who collect it to export. I buy them for cheaper before it goes retail. Anyways it doesn't matter anymore. Something horrible happened in the morning. Front glass shattered to pieces. I was lucky not to be standing in front when it happened. Some stupid snail i put kept on knocking on the glass. But i never thought it has enough punch to shatter 8mm glass. :S I saved all the corals and stuff by putting in a friends tank. Plus I'm moving in to a bigger tank. Already bought a 200 Gallon tank. Will start setting up soon. :D
