Funny you should ask, I was going to ask you the same thing. So far so good. They have colored up more since adding them. I am a little concerned that the bottm, where the two join appears to me to have shrunk a little. The white on the top of the one has colored up and the one that looks different, like Bongo's (RIP) swells up at night. It is kind of cool but the wall gets twice as thick.

Mine is doing OK I guess. Never seen mine do that. Mine is turning brown tho, it looks ugly now. lol Diatoms grew on it.

The one you have is like two on mine. They are different then the one that swells up at night. I'll keep my fingers crossed! I do blow mine off with a turkey baster once a night. I have a leopard wrasse that likes to swim around spitting sand at everything.

I've had the Muscles for 24 days so far and not a single one died yet. Maybe its because I'm keeping my tank at 70F-72F?

 

[uhuru]

did anyone here get those green mussels that were on DD a while back?

Wish I did, shipping is a killer.

Dido the shipping costs. I wish that I could find a seafood source. East coast would be even better. I'm in NC. Then I could get a ton of them and make it worth my while inspite of the shipping.

Ditto. lol

Glad to hear they are doing well. Can you take a few update pictures of them open?

I will, just have to do it in the middle of the night.

Oh, ok. Mine are open once the lights go off and are open till the lights turn back on.

 

[Bongo Shrimp]

Not open but cool none the less:

Wow! How were you able to take such close up pictures?

 

[Western_reefer]

Hey Bongo, at what temperature do you keep your tank at?

 

[Western_reefer]

Here are a few videos that I took of the Basket starfish. Sorry about the crappy videos, it was the best I could do.

78F all the time.

Cool. My tank runs at 70F-73F.

 

[Western_reefer]

Was at the LFS and I finally got a Carnation coral! Woot! I got it for $29.99. Will post pictures soon!

 

[slapshot]

I think my sponges are going away. The original white areas fell apart today. The rest looks OK though.

 

[Bongo Shrimp]

They're so touchy. But how would you know till you try? I bet we will figure it out eventually...

 

[Western_reefer]

Yeah. My tube sponge is doing fine I think, its not falling apart, just has diatoms growing on it.

 

[Western_reefer]

This was the best I could do for now.
