Question about Loboyphylia's

[sillysidewinder]

I have been looking at a lot of lobo colonies and am really interested in them. Just curious whether or not this is a difficult coral. Do they prefer a lot or little flow and same with lighting. I am still a beginner with a 12 gallon soon to upgrade to 25 gallon tank. Also, I am looking for some fish suggestions for the 25 gallon tank. I currently have 2 clownfish, 1 black ocelarris and one ocelarris. r

What kind of lighting do you plan on using for the corals? I have mine all on the bottom and a 1/3 of the way up. Most of them are in light to medium flow. not really hard at all to keep.

I have a 130 watt T5 Light.

I have a 130 watt T5 Light.

130 watt T5?? Or do you mean 130 watt Power Compact? I think you have a PC fixture not a T5.

I think the only coral I lost was the lobo in my avatar. Transferred tanks and it completely receded in 4 days. My water params were fine so I can only assume it was the stronger lighting. So basically, my advice would be to acclimate with care.

Medium to low light, medium to low flow. Moderate difficulty.
