colt coral... its very difficult to find a healthy elegance, they rarely do well in the home aquarium.

i heard they can be difficult also but i like how they look like little trees do they grow fast and how much light do they need in your experience ive read on them but like to hear from people that actually have them

colt corals require low lighting and decent flow... there fast growers

Colt Coral. Colt is very easy, they give your tank movement. Keep nutrience low and they won't grow fast. One of my favorite corals.

soft corals do thrive when there are some nutrients in the water..

If you buy the colt I think you should put it the top right hand side and if you get the elegance it would look nice on the sand on the right side of the tank make sure you put a piece of PVC pipe in the sand then put it there also give it space
They tend to extend a lot some days more than others
