Black Polyps?

[tomato clown]

I saw these at my lfs and was wondering if anyone here has had these? I want to get a colony but don't know jack about them.

I have 2 different types of black polyps...both came in on mushroom colonies...both are doing well and get no special attention...I do feed the system DT's phytoplankton about every third day & feed sort of heavy with an assortment of frozen foods every other day

Ok I actually bought a colony today. What can I expect?....Will they open such as normal polyps or do they just stay looking like tubes?

Mine open daily much the same as button & green polyps...one type is sort of short the other has about 1" long stalks...they close during the night and open during the day....

NM,
So far they haven't opened or anything, and I am concerned that they aren't eating. Am I being neurotic, or are they opened but just don't look like the other polyps when they open?
