i lost one of mine, still have the other, hope they reproduce. try spotfeeding him brine, they are ravenouse eaters. you'll love it, i read up on them, yours seems to be in the open. he needs shade from the source i found. warn ya ahead, some say they spread like aptasia but i think it was a confusion in identification that got that started. g/l on him if ya do keep it and if you don't want it i'm sure there are plenty ready to take it off your hands.

Nah I definitely am going to keep it. I turned the the rock a bit so that it is not recieving as much direct light. It is openning nicely.

Thanks. It already seems like it has grown a little since I first discovered it.
