Crazy Chironepthya sp.

[Bongo Shrimp]

Just ordered this beast. So excited since it is my first really cool and unusual soft NPS coral.

Anyone know anything about it?

I've seen them randomly come in but never tried one. Looking forward to seeing how it does for you

 

[Bongo Shrimp]

I hope it does well. I've never seen anything like it. The color, shape and size (7.5") are what got me. Plus my seahorse will love to hitch on it.

Re: Crazy Chironepthya sp.

It's hard to tell from the pic since the polyps aren't open but they look pretty big relatively speaking. Curious to see your pics when you get it!

I too am looking forward to seeing it Gordon. Since you are feeding live rotifers now you should be good. I have never seen one but I read they feed much like the Cirrhipathes. If true you will have no problem and I predict the new coral of choice.

I guess I saw the coral listed before you added it to your cart .
I was thinking then ,I hoped someone on here got so we could see it progress.
Congratulations on a very nice coral ! :beer:
If you ever get to the point of wanting to frag ,I will pay top dollar for one. .:inlove:

 

[Bongo Shrimp]

Thanks everyone. I can't wait to see it either. And I know of a few people now that probably wouldn't mind a frag. (slapshot...)

Chironepthya sp. 7" tall, 11" wide

I don't think anyone can top this when it comes to NPS:

 

[Western_reefer]

Is it a soft coral?

 

[Bongo Shrimp]

Yes sir.

 

[Western_reefer]

Yes sir.

It looks like its got a hard body like an sps. lol

 

[Bongo Shrimp]

It has no skeleton but it is very, surprisingly, rigid and prickly.

Wow thanks! That's quite a complement coming from the man, the myth, the NPS legend- uhuru.
