I got a rhizo!

Today a picked up a beautiful rhizo at my LFS! :bigsmile:

It's amazing! I won't be buying any more coral for a while though... Here's it in the baggy acclimating:

It isn't as healthy as it should be, but enough to be fed. The last rhizo they got in got really fat within a month or two, and so should mine. I would love to get some information from you guys that have them, like how aggressive they are, etc. I can't find much info online.

Thanks!

I have one. They are not aggressive. Non-photosynthetic. You need to target feed them once or twice a week. I feed mine mysis. Their tentacles extend at night. I have an emerald crab and a fire shrimp that will actually climb up onto mine and steal the food out of it's tentacles and mouth, so when I traget feed, I put a plastic cover over it for an hour or so, so it can eat in peace. Mine sits on the sandbed in my 60 gallon cube.

Awesome. I was worried about my acans. I have dendros so I am familiar with the feeding, I'll probably feed it one to two times a day.

Do you have any pictures? :bigsmile:
