Tubastrea in the sump

[biomekanic]

Anyone have tubastrea in their inflow sump chamber?

I'm stilll planning out my tank and was thinking of putting a colony in there to eat any large pieces of uneaten food that might get pull in.

I have never had them in the inflow chamber but from keeping them before I wonder if this would still be enough food for them to survive on. I spot feed mine several times a week and they still gobble all of that down and if they could would beg for more.

On a side note, I remember when I volunteered as an aquarist at Aquarium of the Pacific in the Northern Pacific gallery, they had HUGE aptasia in the inflow section of the garden eel tank. They were very white as well but boy were they huge (about the size of an entire grown mans thumb, and hundreds of them). Those tanks did had a drip method feeding though.
