Others, like this coral, make excellent candidates for the beginner reef aquarist. It is a peaceful reef inhabitant and does not bother other corals that are placed in close proximity to it. This being said it should still be provided with ample space away from other corals because it does grow quickly.

For its continued good health, it will also require the addition of calcium, strontium, and other trace elements to the water.
