IME very easy to keep. i have a frag growing under 65w pc in my 20g, although there is a noticeable brown tint to it.

Awesome yellow piece.

I think this is not the same specie? Alex can verify?

I expect this is the “classical” Seriatopora hystrix. There is a similar looking coral, Seriatopora dendritica, which has much thinner branches:

In the first picture of the link you can see both species together. The hystrix is placed on the right side.
