Any experiences or words of wisdom on caring for these?

Thanks!

ive never seen one taht looked like that... it definatly isnt too extended, and is less colorful and more spread out than any duncan ive ever seen.
probalbny less expensive than something like the ORA variety, but still has the potential to be something nice.
maybe ill take pics of mine tomorrow
:D
looking good!

Care requirements are the same for LPS corals, medium flow(do not blast them) moderate light, feed meaty foods, maintain good water qualiy. They should do fine and possibly color up more.

i think that the stark white colour would look great in a tank as people always go for reds, greens and blue ( bright colours ) when they get a coral...but white, just instantly stands out....looks really good...

My thoughts exactly. There were others of the green and grey variety but I opted for something other than the more common ones. It's only been in the tank a couple of days and excepts food quite readily. I expect it will take a week or two to fully develop as it adjusts to its new home. Thanks for the input.
