    NIce job. Mine came in with some hitchhikers. There's a large feather duster and a spinoid living in the middle of mine. It's fun to watch the feather duster go up and down. He's about 3/4 inch across X 1" tall, and is constantly moving up and down to catch stuff in the water column.

    Any updates on this guy? It's been awhile. Hope it's doing much better.

    Sorry, I guess it's been a while. I had to get rid of it, the sweepers were getting out of control in my 20L. I wanted to start keeping nicer corals, but I couldn't find piece of mind with those sweepers.

    I tried PMing you before getting rid of it, maybe it didn't go thru?

    probably best seeing as with the power outage my while tank has nearly died. the zoas you gave me might not make it, but the others are starting to show signs of life. it has only been a few days since I discovered and moved the tank so it might just take awhile. sorry to hear you had to find it a new home.

    Those zoas are pretty bullet proof, so I would be surprised if atleast some didn't make it.

    I hope so. those two were some of my favorites. I moved the eagle eyes up a bit higher in the tank to see if being in higher PAR helps wake em up. I am just worried since the spent at least two days at around 40 degrees that they might be damaged.

    When It was healthy in my tank they got around 8-10". Not sure how long they got in Cement Skis tank though. The more direct the flow the longer they can get.

    They were starting to approach the 6" range, depending on the flow.
