Ok. I bought a bubble coral today (NOT a Bubble tip ANEMONE), and we know the like moderate light and that they dont like strong currents, but, I need a bit more info .. like, what do they eat? How much per week will it eat? are they hardy? will It split like a bubble tip anemone? How much years will it live? and other useful info ...
they are generally easy coral to care for. Not as hardy as frogspawn or hammer but they don't have to many requirements. Place them near the bottom of the tank with enough current to make them sway. To much current and they will close up most of the time. Brine shrimp and plankton are good foods for them but other than that, They may not eat anything. Like other soft tentacled LPS corals such as frogspawn, hammer, and torch, although in a different family, the bubble coral is almost fully fed from the photosynthesis. Occasional feedings of brine shrimp are good for corals, fish, and many invertebrates. Not sure on the reproduction but I'm sure it's just like any other coral and will split in time. Stonys usually take a while to split.

If your tank is stable with the right lighting, water flow, and has excellent water conditions then there really is no limit to how long a coral will live. Calcium and strontium are about your most important supplements for coral so testing for these and adding them as needed can greatly benefit them. A good Iodine level will help keep the color in your coral and maintain health as well.
