from my experience, Nemanzophyllia turbida is fairly easy to maintain. They are a low light, low flow coral. It has a bunch of common names that i know of Fox, jasmine or ridge. I would suppliment it weekly with baby brine or mysis shrimp or zoo plankton (or all ) Oh yeah one more thing, its skeleton is pretty fragile so dont manhandle the thing, you might wind up breaking it in half. That's all I really know about it. Post some pics and any info you figure out.

Andy, the fox is one of my personal favorites. Low-light meaning low for an LPS...won't grow under regular outputs. With power compacts or MH you can set it lower down in the tank.

Thanks for the input. They are in a 29g with 130 w pc. about 1/2 way down. Just enough flow to make the polps move ever so slightly. They came off the bottom of a 200 with mh. They are as extended as much in my tank as in the 2oo, but the color is a lil diff. More reddish or flesh color in my tank. Diff. light I guess. Thanks again. Andy
