I went to the fish store....

[Marke86]

Well Im filling up my tank to rapidly I was suppose to limit myself to one addition a month and now im lucky if I can stay down to two. I have no regrets on any of my purchases I probably seen about 30 coral beautys before I saw the one I wanted. but i went in there today to get some frozen brine and of course you got to check out the coral and I saw a "cocoa tube".
I didnt buy it though. But I never seen this species before it looks like a orange fether duster. what kind of maintance does this coral require? and does anybody have this fish store problem? I Feel like a coral junkie. lol
thx

i love feather dusters !!!!!! but i have not purchased one either because I'm not sure how mature my tan has to be

 

[Marke86]

its actually not a feather duster its like one but with a hard shell instead of a soft one

Mark,If its what I'm thinking.It is a type of feather duster.But one of the harder to keep ones.

 

[reeffreak]

They are way,way more difficult than regular feather duster worms.I know of no one who has kept them long term.They need heavy feeding micro-plankton/phytoplankton.

I've seen them at the LFS but after doing research on it it stayed. I settled for the easier feather dusters.

Like others have said, coco worms are stunning, but even the most experienced aquarists have problems keeping them alive. I always drool over the ones in my LFS. So pretty!
