My Cabbage coral is very easy to care for. I keep a medium current flow across this coral, enough to slightly move the leaves. Lighting in my tank is all normal output fluorescent 6500K, 10,000K, and Actinic. I maintain normal to high water parameters, Calcium 400+ ppm, Magnesium 1300-ppm, Alkalinity 8-11 dkh, I adjust parameters with additives and maintain with Kalkwasser. OldFishMan 2008-05-13
