there another dendro/duncan type coral but i think a little more solitary type polyp which grows very slow.My gess why there very rare and very expensive none are being captive grown and are probly only coming in at very low numbers
yea checked them out not bad deals but i think to get one like ficklefin posted you'd have to give your next child up to get it lol, but may have to get one.
they grow extremely, extremely slowly, I had one for a year that finally started to pop a baby off one side, and the baby took another 6 months to even get to a noticable size, definitely not a coral to pick up for propagation, but very nice either way though
Yes that is a silverside that the rhyzo is eating. I pick it up about 4 months ago. Atlantis Aquarium and another seller on Ebay was selling one that looks bleached. It would be nice to get a picture of your organism with the baby polyp on the side. I have always wonder how they grow.
Here is my pink rhizo. I agree with organism on slow growing, not for propagation.
These are "runners", trying to attach to whatever is close by.
I do have to say these creatures are my favorite. They are super cool to watch and feed.
Here is a little info on them; family- Flabellidae. Flabellids are exclusively solitary in growth form -- never forming colonies -- but certain genera reproduce asexually by transverse division and budding from the thecal edge. They are exclusively azooxanthellate.(Cairns, 1989b)
