Can your boy get an ID?

Could someone help me out with what this is? About 6inX4in in size for $30 sound like a deal?

it's OK, not a DEAL! ...probably about $15-20 online

not sure that the 'survival' rate is that good.

 

[TheReeferMan]

Thanks a lot. Think I'm going to scoop him up tomorrow

30 is a rip off.

That is a fair price. For that size, it's very fair. I have 3. I paid 20 each and that one has more branches then mine. Remember, non photo, so you need a nice cave for it. They only fully open at night with no lights on. Or when your spot feeding phyto. Personally, I wish I only had 1, it's def. not my favorite. Kinda boring IMO

That shop looks fermillar... Reef encounters?

They need constant feeding to stay open then there quite beautiful

I haven't seen any at my lfs. This place is called sea creatures. I thought it was decent price for the size. Do they not like intense light? I have a 29 gal biocube with the 150 watt hqi metal halide and a 453nm actinic blue led strip added on. I got the vortech 10 so there is a lot of water movement

That's alot of light for one. They like little to no light...

Yeah I looked into it a lil more and came to the same conclusion. Oh well on to the next one

I kept one of those along with a couple of others. As mentioned they do better in caves or under ledges with good water movement and need to be feed almost everyday. Mine only fully opened at night too which is when I fed them. For me, in my reef, it played havoc with my water quality with all those feedings. It slowly died over a few years because I just couldn't keep up all the feedings and keep good water quality for my SPS.

As always anything in NYC costs twice as much, so for NYC prices that is a decent deal. I saw one similar size at manhattan aquarium for like $89.
