They arrived today perfectly packaged, and I promptly dipped them then moved to dt . They definitely didn't care for being shipped , but hopefully in the next couple days open up

This little piece was broken off , so I stuck into a nook in the rocks , seems happy enough. Blaze our fire shrimp had to supervise my placement..so much personality

I've always liked these, but would they do well in an SPS tank? play well with others? like high flow/light?

No, they don’t like high flow. They also look better under actinic lighting.

Turn up the flow slowly and they’ll be just fine. The higher flow they’re in, the fluffier they are. Before and after cranking up the flow, you can see my purple bonsai acro on the far left :)

If you wanna grow these in a tank with mostly sps, they’re gonna grow slow. Pretty quick growers in tanks with a lot of nutrients though! They spread like beautiful wildfire but I’m pretty on top of them.

I'm in the lemon camp, I had one polyp survive a tank mini cycle that grew to three, my tuxedo took two and left me the smallest one! :rolleyes:
That one is now two and there are three or four on the urchin, slow growers but not to bad with "variable" conditions! ;)

I heard that they can be invasive, is this true? I just bought some and now I'm concerned
