mini carpets

[Big_Pun]

picked these up from Marc of reefaddicts.com. as they split more I'll be giving them away just marc
did. they are about size of a quarter and are very sticky, and pack a punch.

[danvan75]

how many did you start with and how long have you had them chris?

[Big_Pun]

started with 2 and they split right away, ive had about 2 months

[danvan75]

what else have you seen, you mentioned that some of your fish stay away from them.
have you spot fed them and have you noticed any of them moving around?

i lost a lil goby to one and a snail, but the lil angel stays away from wont pick at that rock, twin spot stays clear of them also. i spot feed them once in a while with meaty foods, but from what i read from an article Marc wrote they do not need any feeding


Id like to try one chris

as soon as i get up 6 or more ill start passing them along, Marc was very clear that these are to be shared not sold

[danvan75]

you got the link to marc's article? I don't remember if you felt their sting.

[Big_Pun]

those guys look to split really fast, so i guess they haven't moved on you. just wondering if they crawl around like other nems.

[edshas2]

I have what i believe to be some of these also, at first i thought they where rhodactis muschrooms, but they seem to move way to much for that i currently have 3 in my tank the biggest one about half dollar size the other 2 about nickle size

put your finger on one and see if it hurts lol,

[edshas2]

lol yeah i was thinking about it, but maybe not, I actually have 4 of them. They seem to move around alot till they find a place they like then stay put. I always wondered what they where and after reading that articles and seeing the pics im sure thats what they are.. I actually got it as a hitchhicker on a feather duster rock that i bought from Mr Cob probably a year or two ago. I really love this site, so much helpfull info, im thinking of upgrading to a charter membership. thanks for that link again

[allan]

Edshas2.... upgrade to charter and I will GIVE you a hairy green mushroom. :D

I wouldn't mind touching one of these things, has anyone else?

Ha! Your just still trying to win more manpoints back.

[allan]

LOL, no this is Pure Allan-Normal-Behavior.

You should see how I check to see if a plant is poison ivy or nettles. Nothing like using the old man skin to test these things. Bugs the heck out of Gloria. I also experimented with the bristleworms, which incidently gave me the same reaction I suffered from a tarantula irritation.

... but yes, if I can garner a few more man points...

im all about the "man points" even when the first one stung me i did the exact same thing with the other and longer to make sure i wasnt being a sissy. Too bad it didnt work out with Milly or you would have one by now, im starting a nano for emily and one or two are going in there (any excuse to start a new tank)

[allan]

Ah, I backed the wrong girl! lol
