They are very tough to keep. I tried one too but I lost it in about 3 months. A buddy of mine knew a guy who was able to keep one as an experiment in water that was filled with phyto 24/7. So the water was waaayyy to green all the time. Not very practical.

Interested to hear more about this. How long did it survive?

 

[Bongo Shrimp]

I don't remember. Maybe a year or so? He told me about this last year when I tried to keep mine. My buddy is big into NPS too.

 

[MoneyPit]

Yea I just don't like killing things. Well except for trout, redfish, grouper, snapper, flounder, cobia... hmmm kind of hypocritical. :beat_brick: I don't like to kill things I won't eat.:hungry: Much better statement.

This came from a buddy of mines tank. I cant take credit on this photo, as the shot came from his camera by him. But it has been on my computer forever!

Dendrophyllia

Your picture of dendro is breathtaking. Can I ask you what camera+lens+lighting did you use to take it?
