blue shuriken questions.

[Enraged]

Hi all,
I have had my blue shuriken for about a month now and the polyps are moving all over the frag plug?!?!
Are these guys supposed to be on the sand bed or something because i am at a loss...
I have had polyps stretch and separate from the mother before but this guys started out in the center of the plug and are now working their way over the edge of the plug

Any info you could provide would be awesome

that's interesting. they're moving for you? they haven't moved on me yet. how much flow does yours get? mines gets a lot of indirect flow. it seems they are like snake polyps with the exception they open in light. i haven't seen any growth in 6 months for these. they might require direct feeding which i haven't done w/ them.

My center polyp has pulled away from the other 2 and gone completely over the side of the plug but it did leave a new head in its place. I have never researched snake polyps so i will go do this now.
They do love being spot feed cyclo and small pieces of mysis

Oh and its out of the way really not a whole lot of flow nor was it trying to reposistion itself in more

that's pretty cool enraged. i should spot feed mines to get growth.

i fragged this for trade recently.

Also found out today that while they do like the high light of my 150 Watt 14K sunpod over my 10AGA prop tank they want to be located on the bottom rack which is why they stopped opening.
moved then and bang opened rite up.
Since my purchase of them last month i have noticed 2 new polyps

What's a blue shuriken? Pics?

Jeremy,

hehe thats was my first impression also. The blue shurikens are hard like snake polyps. The adult polyps get fairly large too..

Mine are all juvies at the moment but I do have 2 newly formed polyps as of this morning they are a cool darker blue for some reason my camera can not seem to capture the blue though
