Nice one.

 

[cyclops23]

Am i doing something wrong? I've had mine for over a month now, and it hasn't grown at all. I've been having a cyano problem, that i'm starting to get under control, so i don't feed much. could that be it? it's still really bright, but not any bigger.

I got this one from someone breaking down a tank earlier this year. It was a larger colony but I had to frag it due to the poor condition of the rock it was on. The polyps move more than any other coral I have seen except xenia. Any thoughts as to what it is?

 

[cyclops23]

Alright, I think the water movement was too strong. I moved it clear to the other end of my tank, in the low flow area. Hopefully that helps, i really like this coral.

how much do green nepthea frags ususally cost? viewing this thread makes me wnat to buy some=)

 

[wastememphis]

My small one was like $26 which I know was pricy. I've seen colonies for $68 and pretty large ones for $150

Hey rhdoug that looks like a dendronepthea to me... Nice piece. I'd like to have one of those myself.

IME the Palau Sinularias grow pretty slow actually while other sinularias grow like weeds.

The species I have is supposed to be the Palau Nepthea

 

[cyclops23]

i guess i'm not going to worry about it. I've had it for awhile, and it's still alive, so that's good, right? the color is still awesome. BTW, I paid $30 for this little frag. pricy, i know, but worth every penny(it's THAT cool).

 

[tacomareefer]

[Rmcm2424]

Here is mine, bought it many years ago as a small frag and it has grown into a gorgeous colony.

one of the biologists at the Oklahoma Aquarium has a of this in her system, but she says it's "green tree Sinuaria". Whats the difference? She says that nepthia isn't photosynthetic...that true?

From what I've heard the Dendronephthea is a filter feeder. The Nephthea is photosynthetic..

 

[djmuzzi]

Nepthea is photosynthetic. Dendro & scleronepthea are not. sometimes Neospongodes are mislabled as Nepthea too.....

 

[Skateboarder]

Yeah its really that green.:eek2:
