How much do Rhizotrochus Typus go for?

[Mental1]

Is this related? They are small -- heads are about 3/4 inch and the polyps come out about an inch. A bunch came on my Caribbean rock .... don't know if you can see as they like the shade and my camera stinks.

Can't really see it.. but im excited to say that my search has ended! I found someone who I am getting a red variety from!!! I could probably get one more 2 and they're actually quite cheap!

My rhizo is about 1 inch head. I fed it every one month with fish or shrimp. This one is from Japan.

Fishyfishy23 you can ship mine to 10038 zip code a vendor friend of mine had one for sale, but it was $800. Out of my price range

Anguswu are they cheaper in Japan? I have a friend that travels to Japan a lot, if they'll let him bring it from a lfs in japan.

wow that a nice rhizo you got there i fed my 2 time a week with shrimp. can i ask what lighting you got there?

 

[anguswu]

This one is about US$250 in Taiwan. I believe it will be cheaper in Japan.

I place the rhizo under rock's shadow. I use 2T5 daylight and 2 T5 actinics. The rizho still open more at night.

 

[skydragon]

wow that is cheap. will my open more at night too i thing i feed him too much shrimp it have a pink or red base. haaha it look good. it was white base/ White Tenticles /green tip. now is pink base and White Tenticles and green tip. here the pic of it check it out the diff http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/500/152923mini-06012008110.jpg

i just got a new rhizo from my buddy his was split last week. can you belive it they will split. he had it for 2 1/2 year so and is green Tenticles and yellow base here a pic that u can see

 

[impur]

Thats awesome, i wondered if they split or budded new babies. I didn't know these guys changed colors?

 

[skydragon]

ya i didt know they split. tell i saw it my own eye but for a long time it pay off. is funny how my changed color. may be i give him too much shrimps. but it look nice. cant wait tell he split. anyone els is split?

I think jendubs site says they reproduce very slowly and that they do so by producing eggs. I was trying to convince a RC member to break his and give me a piece lol but he didn't go for it. If I was him I wouldn't have either. Skydragon, where did he get his?

Question: if I went to japan and purchased a Rhyzo from a fish store, would I be able to bring it back to NY on the plane?

 

[skydragon]

answer your question Qckwzrd. my understanding you cant not bring any livestock back in plane. my buddy got his back in about 2-3year ago from a trade. i thing i may have a pic of the rhyzo befor and after it split. im gonna have to look for it i will keep it post to update geting. interesting...

Japan doesn't allow exportation of corals, why do you think japanese corals cost so much in the US. Whoever brought them risked going to JAIL for them.

Even if they did allow exportation you'd need a cites permit (cites.org)

They aren't all from japan that's for sure.
