Pseudocorynactis

Does anyone have experience with these guys?
http://actiniaria.com/pseudocorynactis_caribbeorum.php
I got a piece of live rock that has three of them on it. They are all small and clear and from what I have read that means they are malnourished.
What would be a good meaty nutritious food to feed them? Also Since they open up when lights are out I was wanting to get them on a day schedual so that they would be more accessible to feed. Just looking for a bit more knowledge/experience and opinions.
Should I get them back up to health before I try the day schedual deal?
TIA for any help

I dunno looks like a fancy pest anemone. If this is all you are going to keep then I wouldnt worry but if you are keeping other corals, expensive ones and they multiple I would be a tad concern. I dunno just I guess it just me. Btw as far as food any thing meaty mysis, brine, shrimp chunks any thing that fits in their mouth.

"U should totally sell me one lol"

Depending how things go, I just might lol. On a side note, I dont know what color they will be.

I am keeping other corals, nothing too expensive though. Do you think that they would bother other corals that much? I know its a Corallimorph but I am unsure if they multiply like other Corallimorpharians?. Dont know why they wouldn't though.... Wow I might have to re-think these guys if they do. They are on small piece of live rock, I will most likely isolate the rock on the sand bed just in case.
Will try some fine chopped shrimp as they are small.

I think so to the point of killing them after time not instantly though. If you keep them put them by them selfs.

Yea I am going to put the rock they are on on the sand bed away from everything, just in case.
Thanks

i have some of these mine are red stock clear tentacle and white bubble tips. they do not spread very fast let alone survive. they hate the light. i believe they are found in deeper water in caves. you can see the pink ones from off our shores at cabrillio aquarium in san pedro

Well let me know...I can find something to do with them

Whoaaa.......too wierd. I had never seen these before until about six months ago when they started appearing in my tank. You are right they don't seem to spread that fast and always seem to be in the shade.

Can you elaborate on the survival part???

I think I will hold onto them for now, just too interesting and im curious.

Same here, I first found a nice one online about a month or two ago(a purple oral disk with peach colored tentacles and yellow bubble tips) that I contemplated on buying. While waiting on buying it because I was unsure of there care I bought a RBTA and on the small piece of live rock it came on I found one! Then the next night I found the other two!! I thought, what are the odds? I was just thinking of buying the exact same coral! I still might though because it is a very nice specimine.

 

[danagui]

how are these guys doing?

 

[ReefRiley]

Found one under my monti!

 

[danagui]

I want some lol

 

[strenuous biomarker]

not sure if they die but they will move into a place which is lower flow and **** near no light..... with that being said that exact place is usually where us reefers cant see them. i know that they are somewhat more of a temperate species and do better at 77-78 rather than 81-82.
just feed them once a week if u would like.....i have never fed mine and believe they feed on whatever they can catch.

I had some that came as hitchhikers a while back as well. Mine had a neon green tint, as opposed to those other colors in the linked photos. They move to where they want, and they have survived three tank moves/breakdowns. Not sure if I can attribute their survival to reproduction or just plain old hardiness They love food. I've seen them catch and eat some pellet food before even.

They dont need light. I did have some as hitchhikers a while back when I had a softy tank with no protein skimmer. The 'dirtier' the water, the more they multiplied (not out of hand though). They stayed small - about 1 cm the biggest ones.

Once I put in a protein skimmer, they started disappearing slowly.
