If I remember correctly Waikiki Aquarium (Charles Delbeek) so far is the only place that has been able to keep these corals alive for an extended period of time and grow. They did this by constantly having the tank water changed directly from the ocean. (I tried looking for the article but can't find it at the moment).
These are NON-PHOTOSYNTHETIC and do NOT belong in our tanks.
Why try if you are going to guarantee them a slow death due to starvation?
If you do a search online you will find that there is not one expert that recommends keeping these corals. Including; Harker, Calfo, Borneman, Delbeek. They will all say pretty much the same thing. At this time we do not know what the needs of these corals are.
