Dendronephthya & Scleronephthya aquaculture

Where did the sponges come from?

The Orange Elephant Ear I get from GulfCoast EcoSystems has turned into a favorite.

Glad to see aquaculturing attempts at these difficult corals. Keep it up, and hope to see them in the trade. I always cringe when I see vendors selling them, knowing the unlikelihood they are to die and how many died just getting to the vendors. Good luck!

I see clams similar to this where I live in Florida. I am curious about how they will do in your tank.

 

[bam123]

I live in north florida, may have to try and collect some local clams and see how they do...

Has any tried using blue mussels in their tank?
Sounds like their max temp is around 24 C (75 F), so you might need to be running a bit below standard reef temps.
