Electric Strawberries

About a year and a half ago I got a frag of these from Pookstreet. They grew well for me and then had a near death experience a while ago. I am down to one polyp now and I've had just one polyp for pretty darn close to a year...no growth. Does anyone else have these?

I am just blowing out the end more than likely, but looking at them on zoaID they look like low light palythoas. Feeding them finely chopped silversides, mysis, etc. or something like Rod's coral food will help stimulate growth.
By this time lighting will not be an issue as most all palys will adjust within a month to different lighting. If you had jsut gotten them non-tank raised low lighting would be needed.
Target feeding is what it needs now. Iodine supplementaion will go a long way too.

I know that jabol got some also but don't know if he still has them. I lost my colony over a while back

They're small, like zoas, not palys. I've tried feeding them in the past but they don't eat anything.

lost mine as well... they did great for a few months and I had over 30 polyps... same category as Arms, Wines, Mauls family... at least the Wines, I was able to keep for over a year until I moved!

Aren't those the ones I fragged for you? If you got them from someone else PM me with the source

I lost mine as well, they did great for about 2 months and then within a week slimed up and melted.....Then I heard Pook lost his, and SR71 who I got mine from I think lost his as well.....
