just throw'em in the tank. Make sure it has water.


hahaa


really though shade them at first and gradually bring them up to light. most chalices like less flow and shaded areas.

do they do well under higher lighting if acclimated to it or they are just use to shaded areas? what does too much light do to them? I have one i got awhile back that was like a solid green and has been turning brown and loosing color slowly. Its near the bottom of my tank but not shaded...

they were fairly easy for me to keep as well...
I kept them in the sandbed and did better under low light..
In nature they are found in deep waters I believe

Just feed target feed them every now and again

I feed my chalice mysis when I feed my fish, I just use the turkey baster to target the feeder tentacles on the chalice.
