I’d take broken pieces from your tank too cause even those are probably healthy. The Cali tort is another one that I thought turned out quite well from this batch. 2 Quote Link to comment

It was the one that hung on the longest from that first batch you sent me. And of course, the fact that they didn’t make it is surely my own fault. I’m sure they were more than healthy coming from your tank. 1 Quote Link to comment

This stupid acro is stn’ing I was watching vids of Berghia nudis last night They creeped me out They look just like pale monti and zoa nudis to me But bigger I have one aptasia that snuck in on a frag. I would rather buy a Mojano Wand than buy a couple of those nightmare slugs I was being so careful too. Buying from only reputable vendors. 1 Quote Link to comment

I bought one to get ride of 3 of them and after using it I had a whole crap load of them in my tank. If you find one in your DT take a small ball of Tunze instant coral gum and place it over the spot of each aptasia. After a period of time you can easily remove the gum. I just removed most of them from my IM 30L and I must have had 25+ of those little buggers. 3 Quote Link to comment

Maybe not the right light to show off the purple.

The ones that reached “classic” status, can pretty much guarantee to hold colors - pending your tank parameters (both light and chemistry) aren’t messed up in some ways. There are newcomers out there that I would consider not quite proven yet (ie nice photos are only from vendors), yet still priced very high. But WD and SCOP have been around long enough and proven to show amazing colors. You can go through my thread for various examples of colors. 4 Quote Link to comment
