Husbandry know-how of owners

Anfängertier, echt nicht tot zu kriegen. Hab die Tiere schon ~15 Jahre, sind sehr pflegeleicht und halten einiges aus.
Vermehren sich bei mir regelmäßig, so dass ich alle paar Monate Ableger verkaufe.

Unter optimalen Bedingungen leuchtend grün, bei schlechten Wasser oder Licht braun.
Halten auch mal Wochen ohne Licht oder Pumpe aus (Technik im Urlaub kaputt) bei schlechten Wasser aus.

Pflege: Am Besten viel Licht, zufüttern hilft der Vermehrung. Unbedint acht geben, dass sie Platz haben, vernesseln andere Korallen gerne.
Die Größe variert stark je nach Wasser, Licht, Futter und Tagesform, z.B. Morgens ziehen sie sich sehr zusammen, abends nach viel Licht plustern sie sich richtig auf.
