Walking Dendro - Heteropsammia cochlea

[Aquarium Village]

It could only come from down under. Walking Dendro's. These are a very rare and easy to keep coral . It looks like is a dendro/duncan coral that moves around the sand bed because of a peanut worm that lives inside it. If the worm dies the coral still lives.

Here are a couple of stock pictures

These guys are listed for $79 each MR Special $59

First time I ever saw them. They look like green dendros. I like the fact that if the peanut worm dies the coral can continue to grow. Leave it up to Australia to come up with the strangest animals lol
