Einfach zu haltende Gorgonie, deren Polypen bei sehr nährstoffarmen Wasser fast weiß werden. Wächst bei mir trotz Bodenplatzierung und nur moderatem Licht recht schnell. Bekommt gelegentlich etwas Staubfutter verabreicht. Der Hauptenergiebedarf wird aber über die Zooxanthellen abgedeckt. Einer der schönsten Lichtaktiven Gorgonien.
