Wow, you still have Cyclopeeze? That's a precious commodity now. Hold on to it as long as possible.

Sadly no, I dont have either of these trachys or cyclopeeze any more.
Now that I think about it, I haven't seen cyclopeeze in a while. What happened to them?
I also had pretty good results with Arcti-pods as an alternative for fish.

Once the trachys started a feeding response, it didnt take much in the water to get them to open up again. Similar to other LPS.

Here’s mine! Green, burgundy, and a little light blue in spots!

Argent stopped collecting them. I heard the lake was polluted. I'm going to try PE Calanus and see if it's similar. I tried Arcti-Pods, but they seemed very small.

Lfs has this (picture)
They want £135 for it ,think that works out around $ 145 $150 ...ish lol
It's big
Is that a good price or high
Picture doesn't do it Justice

Ok so made a deal with my lfs
I'm giving them a purple tang , Chevron tang and Regal....they are giving me the trachy in the pic , a acan and a couple sps frags .
Purples and Chevrons go for about £ 140 each in my store, Regal about £50 so they are doing well out of me but I don't care as the fish need to go to a new home anyway

I'm not sure if this is the right spot for this question but my traky seems to be dying and just tonight I noticed this pinhole while feeding. There was small brown strings coming out of it

Can anyone tell me does this look ok? It's the bottom left corner I'm concerned about I can't remember seeing that much of the skeleton before. Any suggestions/advice?

Mine looks like this 24/7. Sorry for all the blue. Early in the morning

This is a Trachy from a buddies tank. Sorry for the Blues. His moons were on at the time. Opens up beautifully during the day. A good 4” across.

Hi DS
So my trachy has sort of been shrunk up today , I'v only had it maybe 2 weeks and it's always big a puffed out mostly with its feeders out
It has had alot of food lately and were it sits it gets food that that I feed my fish aswell .
Hafe of it gets good light and have is sort of shaded
Do you think it's ok lot should I be worried
First 2 pic are from today looking shrunk
The rest are how it normally looks
Nothing has changed in the tank
Alk
Mag
Cal
All stable

 

[DSC reef]

Don't be worried at all. That's normal behavior for trachyphillia. Ours will be huge for days straight with its tentacles out all day then for another day to a week it will deflate a bit and only extend its feeders periodically at night. I see no recession in the tissue and your trachyphillia looks amazing.

beautiful. Can't wait to have some of my own

I just ordered mine today from Diver's Den! I'll take pics once it gets situated. How did you guys acclimate? With all my other SPS and LPS I just temp acclimated, dipped if needed (one of the guys I buy from dips it when I buy), and placed it in the tank. Any different with these?

Macro shots of mine!

What did you take these shots with? These pictures are stunning!!
