Lighting - Water flow:
   Low water movement is required. It requires medium to strong light.

Difficulty of Care:
   This is an easy coral to keep. It is recommended for beginners.

Aggressiveness:
   This can hurt other corals if it is touching them, so be sure to leave enough room.

I have2 Devils Finger Leather Corals, they are attached to 1 Live Rock. They have both grown substantially in the last Year. I leave plenty of room next to them. They are easy and are good looking. I had them in the back of the tank, but recently moved them to the center of the tank. They are still doing very well. I have read that they only grow three inches, but mine are at least 5 inches. They are a good Coral to have. David Willard 2009-02-22
