Has anyone had success with this coral? I tried it once before, but it didn't get much past the frag stage. A little bit of encrusting but that was it, and the never did get the Pearlberry colors. Eventually it just expired

Perhaps the frag was too small at 3/4"?
I talked to another reef keeper recently who is having a similar experience, his frag came from the same source. Curious, I didn't think they were considered hard to keep.
I love the look of this coral, and I'd like to try again... but I'd like to know that it will stay alive.
