Gold Stripe Maroon hosting....

[seannmelly]

today my bf called me at work and said that our gold stripe maroon was trying to host out big candy cane coral and our maxima clam. i didnt believe it until i came home and saw the same thing! has anyone ever had this happen to them before? i dont know y hes choosing these two things when theres a big frogspawn, hammer, and pulsating xenia? :notsure: i guess he like what he likes?

You got it right, they like what they like. My sabea hosts a plate instead of a LTA. Just his mood I guess.

i dont understand that fish...the candy cane doesnt even have anything resembling tenticles except its feeder tenticles...i know one thing, he better stay away from the clam or hes gonna get the boot! i was thinkin about buying him a ritteri but, dont want to waste the money if he prefers the candy cane!! o and heres a pic of the candy cane w/ 40+ heads that keep splitting!!

Yes we got it free, from the big auction site. The shipping got messed up, it survived 2 days in the mail! And our money was refunded and a zoo frag was added along w/ this huge coral!! we got it almost as big as it is now, but recently some heads have been splitting in two and three different heads!! its about 5"x6". Alot of our corals are full colonies.
