These things are as rare as hens teeth over here in England, this was taken about an hour after the halide went out, so its half open/half closed.

Beautiful! Looks fairly healthy.. once its a litlte acclimated to the tank you'll see its feeders come out at night- it'll gobble up lots of shrimps if you let it

I love them i have a HUGE red one thats going on about 6" fully opened.. going to move it to my 125 once i get it setup

Sorry about deleting the original picture :sad2:

This is how it looks after a feed tonight of Mysis;

Looking pretty good there! Make sure you have plenty of space for it to grow.

Mine is about 8" around now

Thanks Migsy. It actually gets mad at me if I don't feed it when I go to feed my suncorals. If it pulls its tents out and isn't given any food, it shrivels up into this tiny little ball and just looks angry.

I usually give it a healthy dose of mysis when I go to feed my suncoral. I'm going to have to move it soon here as it's starting to cramp intself into that ledge its on. I didn't think it would get that large ahha

Christie, I really like yours. It's a lot more bulbous than mine is. How does your's seem to like it on the sand? Was thinking of moving mine down.

It's a wonder, how much different shapes are, here is mine:

Same reaction on feeding other corals, have to share.
Mine also shriveled at the flow, rapid changes in salinity and alkalinity, traces of ammonia or toxins - hardy, but sensitive.
