Hidden Cup Coral (phyllangia americana) -does anyone here have some?

[mikekman]

Hi, I am wondering if the guys at TBS can sell me some phyllangia americana (hidden cup corals)??? They come as hitchikers in the live rock and from pics I have seen, a good number of guys get them.

They look like this:

If the guys at TBS can't sell me some, is there anyone here that has TBC rock that has some hidden cup corals that they don't want? I'd like to buy some

Thanks guys!
Mike

I have tons of them on my rock but thats just it they are encrusted into the rock. Its not just as simple as fragging them off I would need to take a hammer and chisel and split them. They are night time dilter feeders and usually when my dusk lights then moonlights come on they are out fully.

I have a number of them on my rock as well

Do the people who have them experience a lot of growth and spread? Do they need to be fed?

i have some and they do spread buy not to other rock. u dont need to feed them but they seem to grow faster when fed.

I just feed my tank Phyto twice a week and they seem to do good and they do grow.

i have some too, i think it is pretty common to get it on richards liverock. Most of the rocks I got have atleast some, i even got 1 that had a yellow skeleton to it rather than the usual white. I feed my tank a little of everything so they have continued to do well.
If you are interested in getting some just email richard that is the easiest way to reach him.
