Trikentrion flabelliforme

Once again I am doing some light reading and researching corals on the internet. Has any one heard of or have Trikentrion flabelliforme, also known at the candy cane sponge or white line sponge? It is a sponge that has white polyps on it. How easy are they to take care of and what do they like or don't like. I have found things on the internet but they aren't as personal. Any insights?

 

dont know naything about it other then it looks like freddie kreugers face!

 

Kinda but that doesn't help me to know if I can put it in my tank being a newbe and all!

 

Well I went ahead and bought it off eBay. When it gets here and it's happy I will take pics to show everyone! Should be arriving today!! It is also known as a spider sponge! Wish me luck!

 

ebay?? i didnt think you could sell living organisms on ebay...

 

Who was the psychotic weirdo that thought up that name...

Trikentrion flabelliforme---You have to be kidding!!!!...:-/

I don;t think you can sell things like birds, reptiles or any other things. Just go to ebay and type in coral, its a thriving littel sector, last I checked there were 1100 listings....

 

Lots of corals on eBay! It's tempting but I still want to "see" it in the tank!

 

I am sure that this is what you have already found, but here it goes: It will need moderate to high flow (due to susceptibility to algae), low light, and feed cyclopeeze or rotifers or other very small organisms for the polyps and the sponge is a filter feeder so it will prefer a tank that is not skimmed, but will do OK on food for filter feeders.

Like I said, this is probably what you have already found, but just trying to help.
