Care Requirement Guidelines

These are general guidelines that we feel are fairly accurate based on our experience. They should in no way be taken as the ultimate guide. This is simply a quick way to determine if you are capable of caring for the coral to the best of your abilities and taking into account your tank conditions.

Lighting Requirements = L(What we in our experience feel the minimum requirements should be.)
	1  = very little or no light
	5  = multiple fluorescent lights
	10 = metal halide or VHO fluorescent

Water Flow = W
	1  = Low Flow	 = no noticable movement
	5  = Med Flow	 = noticable movement (like grass blowing in the wind)
	10 = High Flow   = forceful but not damaging

Difficulty of Care = D 
	1  = beginning hobbyists
	5  = intermediate hobbyists with stable tanks
	10 = extremely difficult to care for and should be kept only by the most experienced 
             hobbyists with excellent tank conditions

Aggresiveness = A
	1  = non-agressive
	5  = will harm corals in immediate proximity
	10 = will damage or kill corals nearby
