Mysis eating zoos!!!!

[GreenPuffers]

I dont have a pic of it happening my card is fried but these zoos are eating mysis shrimp. Two of the polyps are holding on and closing up around a piece.

Im stumped

Sorry, stumped on what? In my experience the larger a polyp is the more likely it is to take whole food. I have one zo variety that takes brine and all my palys take mysis. Doesn't seem like a stretch.

I have the same experience.

My daytrippers are the best at catching food on their own. The two paly species i have kind of have to be target fed.

Im still new so it was a surprise. Good to know though.

It's fun to watch. I have a paly that is seriously like a venus fly trap - it catches the mysis in its skirt and rapidly closes up to devour it. It's awesome.

My RPEs will take a mysis whole.. really amazing to watch!

coolest is when they catch a live brine. watching it slowly consume it as it wiggles on is pretty sick and cool at the same time

I feed my large palys whole mini krill about 3/4 - 1 cm... they even eat tons of sinking pellets of krill... they do act like venus fly traps... these guys eat like pigs.. and growing to the size of a half dollar

Delsol650...Sweet paly's. Do you ever frag those? Put me on the list if you do.

 

[650-IS350]

I usually just give them to fellow local reefers or use them for trade:lol:

people are quite surpirsed on how big these ones are and there color... when attinics are on they glow nuclear. :lol:

i have some paly's that take tidbits of silversides!

Those are some SWEET looking zoas....

 

[scoutmaniak]

Those are some sweet zoos!!! My brown palys will eat almost anything that goes in the tank. Flake food, pellets, brine, zooplankton, mysis, they will even try to eat the cleaner shrimp if it stays on them to long, :lol: . They are pigs!!! If you feed them, I will say they will double their colony size every month, and get huge!!!

 

[650-IS350]

They actually were eating silver sides for a while, got tired of feeding that to them.... they love eating more of the sinking pellets made out of krill more and seem to color up better...

They are tough and survived the attack of the killer ampipods, zoapox and a salinity fluctuation.. I've fragged them numorous times ( given away and traded to sweeten a deal ) and there's still growing never showing stress unlike other zoo's and palys
