Snake Polyp info

[Mulkxican]

Looking for some either personal experience or more info on these guys. Got some from a LFS and green with red dots looks cool! from the only article i can find on the internet about them HERE good info but not a lot, says their like zoas and need strong light...well i though most Zoas were on the lower end of the light spectrum around 50-100 par? do they like High flow like SPS kind of high flow? Also they say that their polyps only open up at night and i have yet to see that happen yet. but i have only had it in take for about 3 days so i'm probably jumping the gun and just need to let it adapt. I did move from sandbed to mid way up in tank near top of rock structure in more of the SPS high flow area and seem to still be doing fine and still have color. just dont know what to look for if its not happy.

oh wow much more snake like. mines like a fat worm lol should be getting some lenses so i can take some better pictures so i can show what they look like better soon. will definitely let you know. just dont know how to tell if their 'happy' or not since there isn't a lot of info, if they start loosing color i feel that's a good indicator lol but looks like maybe full extension like yours might mean happy too which mine are not so will keep an eye on it where its at in the tank now for next week and see

This was in my little tank before I moved them, I'll get a pic when all my lights are on, low light and medium to strong flow, never caught one open.

Hmmm okay good to know. Might aww about moving to a lower light area if they don't seem to stretch outwards.

I think they are pretty hardy, mine were less stretched when I put them in first so I moved them to less light.
