long tenticle plate coral
I bought a long tenticle plate coral a few weeks ago. It is doing very well and seems to be eating.
After doing some research I found out that plays corals have a limited lifespan in captivity. is this accurate or is this old information? |
They usually last <6 weeks. Pretty standard as a rule. Exceptions happen, but I wouldn't assume success until you've had one past the one year mark.
|
really I've heard they are great beginner corals?
|
I heard that as well now I'm confused reading this new information.
|
I had mine for over 2 yrs and it then went to a new home. So I would say that it is inaccurate info. I did only direct feed it twice a week with mysis if that had anything to do with it!
|
some people think that they dont last some people have experience other wise

I had one for a couple of years. I eventually sold it because it got too big for my tank. |

I've had so called "hardy" corals go south on me and some finicky ones are doing fine. Keep your params in check and you've done all that you can to help it along. The strong will survive and the weak shall be lessons learned. |
