ID this coral

[bugarte1]

I need some information on this coral please anything would help. Where should I place it in my tank ? Low or high water flow or light ?

Looks like a ricordea mushroom. Low-medium light and low flow

Ok that's what I thought just wanted to make sure. Been doing some research on this. They say it's really hard to take care of and they usually don't last very long. I got it at my LFS paid $15 for it not bad I guess. I hope it does well in my tank. It looks great thinking about getting another one different color. Only if I can keep this one longer then 2 weeks.

Lol that's ridiculous. Mushrooms whether they're ricordea or any of the others are easy. Not bad for $15 . Good luck with it, a nice beginner coral

There are some really cool color combos too. I just got one yesterday and plan to get more.

Do you feed it ? If so what do you feed it ?

I just got mine yesterday, so I have not fed it yet, but I've read they are photosynthetic and should also be fed zooplankton and phytoplankton. Low flow and increase light slowly at first.
