I am not an "expert" but I have a couple. It is a Blasto Wellsi and it looks a little stressed. Mine prefer low light and low to medium flow. Once a week or so I will gently blow some frozen (Thawed) mysis on the polyps and they close up and eat it. Nice find.

Cheers Jasper i dont pick it up for a few weeks, and your right it has been in real nasty water, its now in my mates tank in good water and should be ready to pick up in abouit 14 days, do they spread easy ? or do the heads split, and are they EASY TO KEEP.

In my experience they can be "sensitive". I have had complete polyps retract and disappear and then new babies appear in it's place. Mine are slow growers but do form new seperate baby polyps.

Hello Grand wizard
Are those the ones from mapbuild?
They are nice ones but it looks like you will loose the large one at the top.
As soon as you get them start feeding them every day(brine+cyclopeze mix) until they start looking nice and plump.
I have found with the ones i have is when they start going they do go and as others say they are sensitive.I find that when i place them in my tank i start them off in lower light and then slowly bring them out into more light but not to much.
Good luck
Ollie
