I've had my Australian for 13 months now. I even fragged it into 3 pieces back in August. I try to keep my water parameters optimal.
1.025
Ca +/-420 ppm
KH +/- 9 dkh
Mg 1300-1500 ppm
PO4 undetectable
NO3 undetectable
Lighting is indirect from a 250W Phoenix 14K and flow is moderate so that the tentacles sway slightly. I also feed them pieces small pieces of krill or silverside about twice a week. The tentacles are sticky enough to grab and pull food in to be eaten.
