keydiver Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 If there's anyone else from Jersey that would like to split the shipping and go into the group by with me, I'm all ears =) Hey Hypo, is there anyone you know that would like to get in on this order? Or you could try asking your reef clubs i'm sure you could find some interest there. -Tim Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I am still waiting on response to exact numbers some people want here. Quote Link to comment
Lynaea Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Don't mean to derail you guys but I have to show off the new rock flower I just got from ReefCorner Yes, it really is purple and green! So excited I found this. 6 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 very cool rock flower. Guys, if it wasn't for the fact that I'm broke, from spending all my money on the 60g and rock flowers, I'd had bought more rock flowers. I know, you'd think this was the one time I would for sure. Well, w/ my ATO stopping I have to look into that before anything and my card is maxed- enough room for if I need new tires or brakes or something. Wish I could help. Sorry. Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I have 6 so far to add to the order. Should we shoot for an order for Monday maybe? Quote Link to comment
Speaker73 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I want to get more so badly but can't make the minimum number.... Will try to live vicariously thru you all when you get your orders, post pictures and I go deeper into depression... Quote Link to comment
Bropez Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 How many more do you need? I have a couple club members interested and can give you a definite answer before monday Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Good morning. I need to move my rock nem to another spot. What is the best way to get it to detach from the rock? Thanks Quote Link to comment
hypostatic Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I SLOWLY poke the base and peel it from the rock. Once the seal around the edge is broken they peel off pretty quickly and easily. You shouln't have to force it, or you'll risk injuring it. Quote Link to comment
Speaker73 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I cut mine off the rock and in half and hope they heal....hasn't happened yet..... Quote Link to comment
hypostatic Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I cut mine off the rock and in half and hope they heal....hasn't happened yet..... Umm yeah, it might not heal. These guys don't split like other nems. You can't propagate them by cutting them in half from what I understand Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 update: so the base of the nem is tucked under my rocks, maybe in a crevice. I did poke it and it has shrivelled up into a very little ball. If I covered it with sand or a small rock, would it move to be in a better location? Quote Link to comment
hypostatic Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 yeah for nems whose foots are in crevices which you cannot access, I typically cover them with something opaque (like a rock) that'll block out their light and disturb them. They'll usually attach onto the new rock. If there's a little crack that they can squeeze through and get light they typically won't detach. Quote Link to comment
Speaker73 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Umm yeah, it might not heal. These guys don't split like other nems. You can't propagate them by cutting them in half from what I understand Lol. Yeah. I was just kidding. Have heard about people trying this but never have done it myself. Of course I have to get more the old fashioned way....by throwing money at someone, but my pockets are empty right now. Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Yeah, that's why I haven't moved a couple that are still in my 34, I want them in the 60 but I might have to use the big tool that cuts rock to get it out. This was before I ever had a thought about the rock flower breeding tank. So now I know, next time I really love it, put it on the sand so I can use a credit card underneath to move it if need be. I have new pics on my thread just now. Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I need to move mine into the sand. They are in spots I don't like Maybe I'll try putting a rock over them. In the past I chiseled them off a rock before. Breaking the rock they were on but I don't want to destroy the scape this time. Quote Link to comment
frankdr Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 . So now I know, next time I really love it, put it on the sand ... Will they stay in sandy areas or will they walk over to a rock? I'm having issues with mine backing up into the rocks and being hard to direct food to them. If they are on the sand, do they need to be able to reach all the way to the bottom? Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 They don't have to but they will if they can to feel more secure. They will reach down if they're big enough, I can tell you that in an inch of sand even, the small ones at an inch big can still reach down. The ones I placed in the sand have moved around & spaced out a little, and I want to coral them back to the center so they don't reach the rocks I've put on the outskirts. One did reach it so I just let it go. I may end up removing the rocks altogether in that tank though. I put frozen food thawed in the tweezers and put it on the end of their skirt & they just roll it up. Quote Link to comment

I put frozen food thawed in the tweezers and put it on the end of their skirt & they just roll it up. I need to start figuring out where to put 5 new ones coming in next week. My Nuvo 8 already has 3, so these are probably going in my 28G Should be interesting to see where they decide to put themselves. I'm trying to figure out if i put them in the sand where the rock and sand meet up in the rock - off the ground Mine get mysis shrimp and seem to love it. My largest one always seems to get 3 or 4 a day. It's probably why it's getting to be a monster. He has a very strong 'grab' response whenever food touches the tentacles. The others are much slower. 1 Quote Link to comment
