Strong flow? In the shade? In the light?

Low-Medium flow is good. They do not require light so that's not a big issue, but lower light would reduce the chance of growing algae on them. Hope that helps ;)

Oh good. I'll pick up some more super glue tomorrow (if they come attached to rubble) because they'll already get here THURSDAY

Any idea how long it may take, or how I can help the re-attachment process? I've got them in a little mesh box with some rubble. They're busy feeding, constantly.

The Pavona is gorgeous!

man those are cool! too bad I can't place an order. moving into this house has drained me fun funds

I was freaking out yesterday because I thought one of them had died - a grey version of the barnacle feelers was hanging out of the barnacle. Then I realized it was still feeding with a nice dark version of feelers.
Apparently they shed the skin of the feelers much like shrimp shed their skin.

VERY cool!!

I was worried too, one had shed in the bag and I didn't see feathery bits during acclimation. But they slithered out as soon as they were in the tank.

I'm very impatient when it comes to waiting for things to attach, and I want them in a particular place. How do you think they'd do with a rubber band holding them loosely onto a rock? I'd hate to damage the foot.

Mine kept falling over in the glass bowl because they can be so wiggly. Of course flat on their face they can't eat so I glued them to the rubble and then glued the rubble where I wanted them to be.
I hope that's okay. Did that on day 3 after their arrival and they've been doing fine, catching stuff, etc.
