Fungias obsession

[PurpleTreeSpiders]

I am becoming quite intrigued by these funny critters. Just got done feeding these two. Twenty minutes of fending off clowns and cleaner shrimp while they slowly slid the mysis on down is apparently how I spend my time when my 2 preschoolers take a rare nap. : D
Anyway, I am curious to see what everyone here has in the way of these guys! Anyone have pictures of theirs to share?

Wow. They're striking. Tagging along. :-)

Very nice, I haven't had much success with plates corals.

Here's a pic of one of the ones I had feeding at night

Thank you. I've had the rust one for about four months and just got the green on St. Pats day. One of our LFS had a sale on all green corals. : D I try to spot feed a couple times a week and I've seen them both grab at a few bits during regular tank feeds. Just have to keep the skunks from picking it off before they close their mouths.

Pic of mine, before recent troubles...

Currently looks like crap, but hoping it pulls through

They can! My long tentacle moves a lot, usually on top of a snail.

Can anyone identify

I'm no expert, but looks like a bleached nem of some kind.

Really cool! How long have you had it?

 

[1fishjones]

I have no idea why but mine has moved about four inches in the last six months & doubled in size to seven inches since I brought it home around nine months ago.
Loves Larry's Reef Frenzy! I've never seen any other coral grab food like this one.

Mine move around on their rock a bit. Have to watch them close so they don't try to take a dive. Used to have them on the sand where they belong, but between the goby and blenny they were getting buried.

That's awesome that it grew so much.
