   On the reef these corals inhabit shallow areas in calm lagoons on sandy or muddy bottoms. They are absolutely beautiful and are often mistaken for anemones.

I have very nice large group of Fox coral that I have had in my 125 gal. tank for 5 months now, low in the tank and under metal halide lighting. Look like large puffy pillows during the day. Use Dt's and marine snow for food. Give them lots of room as they expand about 5 times their size during the daytime. Under low flow as well. Easy and beautiful coral.

I have kept the Fox Coral in my 150 gallon reef tank for about 8months and it has done excellent under metal halide lighting also comes out to its full extent and it looks incredible. Recommend this coral to anyone who is trying to keep it. It's one very attractive coral.
