Looking for Palythoa Grandis update

Sea MunnKey · Nov 20, 2013

Helllooo ... it's been a while and nothing new or too much exciting updates from over here. Well ... what got me started was when I was at a local lfs and saw in his display tank had a small colony of new Palythoa Grandis specimen. I've been trying hard to get a piece of this Grandis and so far it has been tough.

So far I've got 4 different strains except I can't locate my all Chocolate/Brown with White patch(es) specimen. This is or was a slow growing specimen. I gave a frag to an old reefer buddy a few years back and not sure if he has any left as he's almost "retired" from the hobby.

Would you guys or gals care to update with picture(s) if possible?

Much appreciated.

Paul

Are you looking for peoples pictures?
Or are you trying to track down a piece that you lost?

Looking for pictures of any specimen out there ... and hopefully someone'll post a pic or more. Or it's not as popular or in demand?

Thanks

The brown grandis was my very first polyp I bought.
I've had several different colors since.

Yes ... I do have this specimen. You have to show me more of your collections ... can't wait.

This ones a little different.

I have another one but it's a green/brown.

cinnamon sun polyps are the only fancy shmancy name I've seen for them, but they are palythoa grandis

I've heard they prefer strong light and indirect flow.
How are you keeping your P. grandis?
What you feed them?
Any more pics?

The green ones are great!!!

Grandis.
