Walking dendros - anyone got one?

They seem really fascinating to me! Inside the coral lives a Sipunculid (peanut) worm which moves it around the sand bed as it forages for food. It grows around a hole in its base where a worm species takes up residence. It's an amazing symbiotic relationship! Thinking about trying to get my hand on one - anyone have any experience?

Sounds cool! Where there a risk of it stinging other corals?

Honestly not sure since it was in a rubble tank with just xenia, a few bubble tips, and a mandarin

I want one. You probably need a sand bed with good microfauna or else the worm will starve, though.
