WWC Illuminati

[Goaway]

^ I second dirty water and I’m guessing it depends.

Mine sprouted 2 heads in 2 weeks

so, thats what these are called!!!

Do these dudes grow fast/slow? What about tank placements? My wife just ordered me a frag from WWC.

Please tell me you did not pay $200 for it

$99. Lol. And I honestly don’t care. There is nothing near me. The only local suppliers I’ve found don’t have the best looking specimens (at least in pics I’m sure they’re prettier in person).

Hopefully by tomorrow he will start to open up.

It opened after about an hour in the tank.

It was a just because surprise gift from my wife. She knows how much I love my tank

Update: it’s doing great.

Mine has never looked like that. At this rate I am not sure it ever will.

My Illuminatis grow very fast. They like high par and high flow. My tank is also pretty low in nutrients. My last icp test showed .04 phosphates and zero nitrates. I can take a picture of my colony tomorrow when the lights are on.

I'm finding they like a little more light after you acclimate them. Yours looks great. I hope it multiplies quickly for you!

Yeah it came in very tall. I’m assuming they grow them in low light environments and that’s why they’re stretching out of the box

Yeah super lucky. She’s finally starting to take an interest in the tank. She’s got a thing for acans lol

Thats 10x better! You can now spend 100 a frag and have her love them. Win win!

Here’s what my colony of Illuminatis. It started off as two polyps. Pictures taken under full spectrum lights. They really pop when under blues only.

How long did it take to get like that?

 

[Guttersnipe]

How long did it take to get like that?

About a year. They have a good feeding response. Give them frozen mysis. High light and high flow.

I have a greedy Blenny and Basslet. Might be hard. Reef roids might be okay? I will try to chop up the mysis and see if they will take it.

Theyre pretty slow growers compared to my other zoas. They were also pretty touchy, the first few weeks in the tank they didnt look right either umbrellaing, closed up or streching. But eventually they settled down. I went from 2 heads to about 15/20 in 9 months

You consider 2 heads to 15/20 slow growers? Wow1 What is your secret! MIne grow very slow, My ph isnt above 8 so many be thats why and I cant think of an easy way for a woman to get the ph up! LOL. I keep hearing never use a ph bosster because it ups alk but i know there are some that claim they dont. I am going to post a pic of some zoas sold as infrared but I know they are not because I just got some nighmares in that look alot like them but brighter! Do oyu are anyone know what this zoa is? Sorry pic is so blurry!
