Poop brown palythoa?
Xris
Sounds about right.. wonder how long until they overtake that rock, now tongue.gif

Could be anything I had some nice red/blue/green just pop up on a rock that I thought was gone a year ago. You may be suprised, and you may have a brown poop polyp, LOL

Yeah this was the first piece I bought at a LFS nearby. Wonder how long it's been popping out back there.

So, for any who may be interested.. here's what it looks like now, after 2 months of good light.

This one has yet to spawn any new ones.. hoping it does soon fingersx01.gif

i started off with 3 or 4 of those on a piece of live rock a year ago, since then i've fragged them a good 15 times and have 6X6 tiles covered in those beasties.
if you want them to grow faster, you can feed those cyclopeeze/mysis. mine eat like pigs.

Weird, I had a similar one and it took like a year to grow three extra polyps, some of them grow really fast and some just sit there and look green.
Xris
I have fed it some mysis from time to time, definitely seems to enjoy it. I'll step up the feeding (only been giving it 1 or 2 shrimp a week at most) and see what happens smile.gif

Well, if it doesn't grow then you've got the rare LE version wink.gif
