SRC Member Dinosaur Posted October 16, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted October 16, 2003 Since you already brought it, bo bian Try to squirt bio plantom onto them regularly But remember, next time leave the poor jewel alone It will not survive long in a tank Your are wasting your money as well as killing them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 They are diffcuilt to keep corals. Doubt many people here have any sucess with it. They rarely live past the 1 year mark in captivity with most dying of after 2~3 months from starvation (tissue receeding) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dispar_Anthias Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Yup my uncle kept one for ard 9months but during the ten month it fell down the tentacle come out very little only but at least its still alive....
