"French Tickler Corals, or Sphincter Corals are unique specimens indeed. They resemble a tree in shape, and may be colored white, tan or brown. These csoft corals do not require lighting, but do require planktonic feedings, moderate current, and sufficient trace element leves to thrive. Tickler Coral tentacle will typically recede into the trunk of the coral for the night forming a ball, but will emerge and stretch out when daylight arrives to feed. "

That is ridiculous to say the least. I would not purchase from them just for this reason...

I also have no clue why they would call it a sphincter coral, there is not even a connection between the name and the anatomical reference. Idiots

I expect crap like this on eBay, but on your own professional website???

Write to them and object. I did.

Puts a whole new slant on the fact that they have crabs...

I actually had some of those, and they made no sense either.
