This is my first coral in my tank. I saw it at Petco and it looked sad, with maybe only 10 polyp arms out. I felt like I had to save it, so I added it to my tank probably earlier than I should have. However, it looks like it’s doing great. All polyps are always out and it already closed up for 2 days and shed its skin. I was wondering if any of you toadstool pros out there could give some advice. Does the flow look ok? Idk what par it’s getting, but should I move it up higher on a rock to get more light? Do you feed them anything specific? Also, can anyone tell me what kind it is? The end of the polyps look bright green with blue lights. Thanks in advance.

Flow looks good maybe a tad high. Toadstools like lower par. So bottom of tank or sandbed is great.

Looks good overall, use activated carbon to mitigate the toxins they release
