    Does anybody know anything about Neon Green Daisy Polyps? I discovered pics online, but cant find a whole lot of info on them. Are they hard to keep? Are they photosynthetic or do you have to feed them? Are they rare? (I'm having trouble finding a seller.) How much do they usually sell for? Any info would help me out a lot. Thanks fellow reef addicts!

    Thats exactly why I want them too. My favorite flowers in the world are daisies, it would be awesome to have an underwater variety.

    beautiful

    These look very pretty but you should ask for a cigarette when you buy them. I have a feeling they are not going to be cheap. I have been looking for unique polyps/corals and I have never seen them before. I am not the most experienced....but looking like 75 bucks...for a guy in the country.

    Best of luck... might have to order online ....not knowing what you may receive. :(

    It looks almost like flowerpot coral. I would like to see a retracted pic.
