Anyone having success with non-photosynthetic corals?

[Sharkey18]

Just wondering if anyone has been able to keep anything alive for more than a year and if so 1) do you have growth and 2) what is your feeding regimen?

 

Just wondering if any progress is being made in meeting their requirements.

I used to have a pink carnation for a year or so and it was doing great in fact even grew some onto the rock I glued it on. The only reason I no longer have it is because it along with pretty much all my other corals died when my tank crashed after I moved this past summer. I am definitely going to be getting others in the future. I use phyto, marine snow, along with a few other Kent marine product 2 to 3 times a week and had it in a moderate to high flow section of the tank.

Great article! My feeding regimine is pretty much the same with the same foods. I also feed Oyster feast and Phytoplex 3x a week with good results so far. It's only been 3 months for my chili coral but I've had great growth and good polyp extension.
