These guys are facinating, a worm lives in the interior of the coral and moves him around. Non photosynthetic.

Watched mine all night last nite, AMAZING. I have another.

Seen them yes, but never had one. Seems like the perfect substitute for a nem in a small nano tank though. Even comes with the possibility to move around.
You guys have any at the store?

Mockery was looking at those out in CA, don't know if he brought one back, though.

I have 1 I will be selling, maybe 2 since Julie saw the price. When the polyps are out it looks more like tiny elagance.
