Is anyone keeping Scleronephthya alive yet?
I would like some tips and ideas on keeping them.
 
Well, some say that it's easier than dendronephthya, but it's still one of the really hard NPS corals.
Do you feed your corals?

Hello, I have 7 of them 1/2" to 6" , bought on 1/15/18. I've been documenting progress with some pictures. I'm organizing them as we speak and eventually show them. I also have 9 carnation same size. After extensive search for scientific papers on net. I found info on what they eat.
A lot of algae. I put Chaetomorpha in blender, stain, add DT water. Dose approx. 20 ml every 4 minutes, all day long. I control nitrate at 5-10ppm with 3 sulfur denitrators. There still alive two carnation corals not so good, hoping maybe they will make it. When I bought all except the one in picture where close to dead. Hope this helps.
