I think I have figured out why flower pot corals are hard to keep.... They like dirty water!
Mine has lived for 1 1/2 years, and now it's on its way out. It was very happy in my old 50 gal tank with a hang on filter. Hi nitrates and nitrites were always a problem. The flower pot thrived.
When I moved up to a 90 gal with a sump, the flower pot has struggled ever since. My parameters are all 0 in the newer tank.
Just guessing here, but I think that's why people have a hard time keeping them.
All my other corals are growing at a crazy speed, but the flower pot is almost dead.
