Exodus Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 So I found a bit of info from here as I suspected like mentioned above they were in fact cold water species, but apparently there is a tropical Quote Corynactis Corynactis spp. are mainly temperate species, known as Strawberry anemones. They are small, not usually larger than one inch (2.5 cm) in diameter, and colonial, reproducing by fission and pedal laceration to cover large areas of rocks. Tropical species may occasionally be introduced to aquariums with live rock. The tropical species are less colorful, tend to be cryptic, and form much less densely packed colonies. All Corynactis spp. feed on zooplankton and particulate organic matter. To keep them healthy and encourage division, they need to be fed at least several times per week. A "milkshake" of chopped seafood can be used, but they will also take flake or pelletized foods, and frozen shrimp or worms. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsBret Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Thank you!!! I've met other seahorse fanatics online in the UK who have these in their tanks but haven't known where to find them locally. ♡ I keep my tanks at 72° so they should adapt well apparently. 🐙 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

talkalot82 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Buyer beware.. They are hard to find. Normally like cave dwelling areas. If you get them to take in your tank. They will take over like glass anemone . I have a friends tank covered in green purple ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
