I'm guessing that will do fine, just sit it upright in the sand in the PVC and see if it burrows it's foot. Don't try to burry it. I found that most creatures we keep in aquaria make their decision about how they want to sit but the PVC will help it stand upright and give in a deep sand bed to borrow.

Here it is now it should burry itself hopefuly

 

[jordan banks]

It looks so inappropriate! Lol

 

[Oliver94]

I will keep you updated for the sand i decided not to place the beach sand.. I will get a sand for reef aquarium next week but meanwhile i placed my gravel as her "sand" I hope it won't be a problem for a week.. My gravel is not big at all

 

[Oliver94]

HAHA! yeah you are right it looks weird..

 

[jordan banks]

Yes it will be happier in soft sand

 

[Oliver94]

I will definitely get her soft sand
Thank you

Still it didn't burry itself,probably it's stressed and will take time

 

[Oliver94]

Here we go! It is beginning to move...
It is expanding and making a tour with its leg + a bubble thing showed up

 

[jordan banks]

That is so neat!

 

[Oliver94]

It fell of the pvc,so I have to burry it a bit in the pvc gravel,and let her go deeper,once I covered 1/4 of its leg by the substrate,it opened.. But it didn't go deeper,either standing she is laying on the LR in front of her.

Any idea why she is not standing up?I think its needs to go deeper to do so.. or should I add flow to the tank?

 

[Oliver94]

It is standing up beautifully!!
Yesss

 

[Oliver94]

I will keep this threat updated about keeping it alive and how to care of
It. Maybe in the future your advice and mine jordan could help someone else

 

[jordan banks]

I think this thread will help others. Your sea pen looks very happy.

 

[Sully]

That is a cool looking piece.

 

[Oliver94]

It didn't close during the night,it is still opened today. I will try to feed it see if the tentacles reacts or anything..


I will keep you updated about its evolution

 

[Oliver94]

Feeding trial #1 frozen mysis shrimp,reduced to very small parts,using a fine end syringe,pushing them in and out of it many times lol.

They successfully reacted toward them! and each tentacle that have cough a piece closed with the piece inside of it..

I think they must be eating..!

That is interesting, I would think it would need something like phyto, nothing as large as even minced meaty foods. I have got to get one when I finish re-doing my tank.

 

[Oliver94]

Thanks for the infos. I will get as soon as possible

It looks fabulous with the flow moving its tentacles,also its size more than 15cm.

 

[Oliver94]

Night time..
It is closing a bit

 

[Oliver94]

It buried itself more than 1/2 of it!
