zoanthid covered red ball sponge thread

[LeslieS]

Bloo7, Did you put it there and then it attached or did it migrate on its own?

Leslie, The orange & blue sponge attached to the rock by it self. Both has growth out and middle top left of the blue is where they touched together. I try sliced off the top surface of the blue, just to test what will happen to the newly grow .

Lesile, Is there a skeleton to the polyps?

If you mean of the zoas - no there doesn't seem to be.

Kathy, I think you have the nano size. Mine is pretty big so I think that is why the lines are more distinct. I hope they both live and some day we can share and each have both colors

You are right, I did order the nano sized one, it's between the size of a golf ball and a pool ball.
Bloo..not sure from your response if you already tried to frag your sponge, but please do let us know what happens with it.

Any updates on these sponges? Tips? Just was given one of these lovelys this weekend. :hug:Thanks Awilda.

So far it has ended up floating about the tank. I have to figure out a better way in the rockwork to keep it happy and anchored in a crevice. It had great polyp extension on the zoas this evening when it was feeding time. But I neglected to take any pics (my pics stink anyways lol)

Pinkheine,

Red ball sponge still alive. I haven't been feeding it anything special, but I should. It definitely seems to like high flow and low light. If it gets too much light, it attracts cyano.

with the swap coming up soon is there any interest in having a gb for these?
