So someone might be able to have luck if they were able to provide good light, high water flow and daily feedings? The problem being that they would have to get the rock high enough in the tank and then have one of the power heads directed straight at it. You would have to hope that all this would not cause the rock to fall or become unstable when your critters crawled on it. I would also think that it couldn't be right at the water line or you would chance a burn from your light if it was directly under it. Maybe off to the side or toward the back?

I might be up to the challange if I could find a rock under $20 to give it a try. With many reports though it doesn't survive and I have little knowledge. I wouldn't want to just kill the thing to think I was better than those that have studied it. Then again everyone told me that my acropora wasn't a beginner coral and that you don't put them in a new tank. Mine is doing great and looking like it is expanding already. Who's to know, it must survive somewhere right?
