New - Anthelia Waving Hand

So, gave a bunch of met green striped mushroom frags to my LFS. I told him i didn't care much what i'd get in return so he said he'd give me one of these. Looking forward to having something new in my tank! Been the same coral since i started 3 years ago!

Don't have it yet, so no pics to post... I'm hoping to get it within the next day or two.

 

Just so you know, that stuff will grow like a weed so if you don't want something that will overtake your tank, don't get it.

 

Is it hard to pull out?

 

+1 that stuff is a pita to remove
you have been warned lol

 

Okee... well i'm broke and desperate enough for something new so i'll just have to keep a close eye on it i guess. thanks for the advice guys!

 

No, it's impossible to pull out

You can add "sorry" to that if you put that stuff in your tank Isn't there anything else that the lfs can give you in trade for your mushrooms?

 

huh, maybe i'll ask when i go by there... does anyone have any suggestions? I only have basic lighting. It worked great for the shrooms but i'm pretty sure i'm at the minimum requirement for them...

 

Maybe a different colored mushroom than what you already have? Xenia? I'm not sure if you'll be able to keep xenia with your lighting but if you can't, you wouldn't have been able to keep the anthellia alive as they have the same lighting requirements.

 

I like the idea of a Xenia... I'm hoping i can do something about my lighting soon. However i'm getting married in gzzzz... like 5 weeks so. Def not until after that and well you know how things go.

 

Nope....both my husband and I are hobbiests so I have no idea what you're talking about
