FS: Rhizotrochus - SOLD!

[cocoaandme]

I rescued a couple rhizotrochus typus from some stores I went to but I am now realizing that I don't have enough room for all of them (my tank is pretty full). (you can read about the fully story of them in my thread http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1835243&page=9). Anyway I am putting this one up for sale for $160:

When I got it, it was looking pretty bad with the flesh recessing from the skeleton and the tentacles pulled all the way in but I nursed it back to health with mysis and then silversides. As you can see it is doing quite well now. :thumbsup: Please only purchase this if you know how to take care of them. The main reason I got these is because they were starving at the stores I got them from and I didn't want to see them perish.

I also have this little guy but I will only offer him for sale until after the previous rhizo has sold first or I will sell him with the first one:

It is smaller but has a very bright pink/red color not commonly seen in rhizos. I will be asking $160 for him as well but only after the first one has sold.

At this time I will not lower the price for combined purchase. I am posting here first because I would prefer not to ship them. If I do not have luck here I will post on the selling forum. I want to see these go to a good home. Thank you and happy reefing!

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that the first one is about 3-4 inches in diameter (when fully closed) and the second one is about 2 inches (when closed). And by closed I mean that the measurements are of the actual skeletal base. They open up much larger than that when they fully open which is why finding room for them in my tank isn't easy.

Thanks Mark. What is a PTR?

 

[kichimark]

PTR91. Its a .308 rifle....one of my other hobbies :spin1:. I really need cheaper hobbies. Reef tanks and target practice are wallet busters haha. BTW does your rhizos open up fully during light hours?

 

[cocoaandme]

Haha yeah I need to get some cheaper hobbies too. The first rhizo will open during the day half of the time. And the second one opens most of the time. I am still training them to open more during the day but if they are put in s shadier place they open more.

Here is a new picture of the first one open during the day:
