Hey everyone, Im an idiot and bought a coral and do not know much about. It looked a lot better in the store than in my tank… Does anyone know what coral this is and any specification on tank parameters and feeding would be greatly appreciated!

Attached is the photo

It's a ricordea they come in many colors and are a low-medium flow and light coral.. good for beginners

FYI

Look up mushrooms, the care is the same. Most of the food is received through the photosynthesis of the algae in it. Requires low to mod light, however a good light source is needed for corals that generally live in the lower portion of the tank.
