Dont know how far west you are, but i have a orange and a blk sun coral. Be willing to sell you. Care is pretty simple. There are mostly nocturnal, opening as the lights are dimming. U must feed every mouth..

Non-photosynthetic and not for those wanting easy maintenance and care.

Theres a few threads on it. I havent found it hard to keep. My Blk sun coral is huge. bigger than my hand. Probably 5 X 9, maybe 75+ heads on it. Center tank, high flow, under Radions during the day..

I feed my tank heavy due to my chalices. So, they get sprayed every night. Heavier 2-3 times a week to make sure all heads are fed.

I have one in my 10gal. They are a nps coral. I feed mine every other day, you must spot feed each polyp. They tent to like lower light, mid-high flow.
