You have been spending too much time looking at those over 18 sites anyway Bud.

Honest

Okay I mentioned that Buddyboy and I had gone halves (possibly more people yet so its still in one piece) on something rather special.

That is this

Trikentrion flabelliforme

Here it is today arrived and in Tigers tank

This is what it will look like when the polyps are out.

The red part is a sponge and the white part is a parazooanthus. They appear to live symbiotically.

It is fairly rare, Bob Goemans wrote an article on it in March 2009 issue of PFK magazine, he actually wants to hear from people keeping this beauty.

Interesting specemin there TI, is it photosynthetic or a filter feeder?

 

[Buddyboy67]

It's a symbiotic pairing ski of tree sponge and parazooanthid, buth are axoo and require filter feeding..got a few axoos hid in here already so hopefullyy it will settle in ok
