I have had a carnation coral in my tank for about 5 months. I believe these are similar to the coral you are discussing. In the "if I knew then what I know now" category, I wish I wouldn't have bought it. Mine is also upside down and in the path of a powerhead. It took only a few days to...

Better living through chemistry is a nice concept, but if the tank were larger I would suggest a conch. They eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
