Has anybody ever kept a Distichopora alive?

[Gregg @ ADP]

There’s one super cheap on a dist site. Cheap enough to make me want to try again.

The only other one I ever tried didn’t do well, despite me putting it in a mostly shaded part of the tank with high flow. It started to go after a month. I broke a couple of branches off and tried to attach them, but they didn’t last long.

That said, I did find one branch of it under the sand a year later, and it was alive and well .

Just wondering if anybody has kept one going.

I had lots of trouble with them(tried twice) and both died after 2-3 months

I tried twice in a long established tank dedicated to NPS. After two months, each was gone.
