Hi, i have recently added a Porites worm colony to my tank, without the faintest idea how to look after it, good idea eh? Anyway, the coral is roundish like asteroid and the worms look great in multitudes of colour. However i have since been reading that the worms feed on very small particulate matter and are not recommended for beginners (thats me). Does anyone have any experience in keeping this coral, and the subsequent worms? what depth should i keep it at? how do i help the little critters get the required nutrients from the water, and what does the coral like in terms of nutrient, light etc
Porites lobata is the coral and the worms are called Spirobranchus giganteus.I found a study on them and coral density as well as worm density was highest in shallow waters.Strong lighting and strong random water flow are probably conditions they're subject to in nature.
