Snake Polyps

I bought these under the name "Panamanian Snake Polyps." Arrived in the mail today . Is there any special care for them? This picture was taken after they had been in my aquarium for a little over an hour.

I have had them in my aquarium for a while now and just keep the water good and they will do just fine. I never feed mine anything, just light. They open up at night It's pretty cool looking, so if you have moon lights that's something your going to want to check out. They grow quickly not out of hand or anything but its noticeable after a few weeks. They are cool and not a lot of people have them. nice colony you have too

I flicked the lights on and snapped a pic. You only have about two or three seconds before they close up. I was able to get one or two still open though

I am still trying to get a look at them while they're open. It's frustrating, lol. But I will post a picture once I get the chance .

You gotta be quick you have 3 seconds tops. Get the camera ready then flick the light. They were all opened before I turned on the lights and I only got 2 Lol good luck.

Mine haven't multiplied but they went from the thickness of a pencil, to about finger size thickness. They also doubled in length but no babies, should have been more clear on that.
