This one is awesome, but it is a photosynthetic sponge and under good light it become dark, almost dark gray/black.
I have it and it just started to produce lots of pipes, very nice!
It can burn though, if you press hard enough on it, it can sting.

I'd suggest learning how to culture your own phytoplankton first and mastering regular coral keeping before moving up to difficult Azooxanthellate species.
However if you'd like to try your hand at keeping a small variation I could send you a handful of this one of these days.
