Thanks for that Arkive.org article Mike! Very interesting.
Do you think these "special cup-like structures" are the "patterns" we are seeing on our Distichopora Mike? Great close up shots BTW!!!

I believe that that what we are seing in the picture is actually Gastropores. This would also include the cluster patters I shown in a previous picture also.

Nice video mike. He is like " too breezy, I'm out of here". LOL The Sclero looks good. Train it like you would a sun. I don't think it will like to be moved into a dish though. You will have to keep it in the tank. I fed everytime it puffed up. Don't be surprised if it shrinks back down after it feeds.

I have been working on trying to record crinoid activities as much as possible. Thought I was going to catch him swim. I believe they swim more as an escape mechanism than a normal activity.
As for the silk, it shunk this evening about a half hour after I direct fed it. Good call
My aquarium is fed continous but I am going to work on direct feeding it as often I can without fouling my tank. What is your current diet for yours? Mike

KING LEAR
Mike, I had that same coral a few years back, aquacultured scerlo is what I thought it to be. One pink and one orange tied down with fishing line. It seemed to respond best when I fed rotifeast. Not sure why but it seem to expand and open the most when I added it. I fragged it a few times and traded off the healed attached frags too.

Just my usual. I will say that it does respond to my "blended up mixture" better than my normal food mix. I may have to start a culture again also. I had one for awhile but got lazy and it crashed.
