Here's mine.

That is wicked!

 

[gogregerson]

That makes me want a softy tank.

Nice, I've had one like that for a little over a year now. It recently detached from its spot though and got all shrunk up. Not sure what's up with it, but it seems to have resituated itself. Hopefully it'll puff back up again--was nearly 3" across. The sanctithomae are neat looking. I also have a couple blues that I recently successfull split.

any LFS around here sell those... I'd love to get one of those for my new 75 i'm setting up.

 

[clownnut]

we got at least 10 red,2 blue, 2 white and 10 green of them in stock.

 

[Nanofins]

I haven't seen any in the local stores. I don't peruse very regularly though.

R. sanctithomae isn't a very common mushroom. The reds are more unusual than the blues, and a piece like clownnut's with the white speckling is even more exceptional. The person I bought mine from called it Strawberries & Cream; seems fitting.

yeah, i just able to get a shipment of them in, not easy to find them.

what kind of lighting and flow is needed to keep them? do you have to direct feed them? replicated easy? i have never really seen/heard of them although i'm fairly new to the hobby 2yrs...

 

[Nanofins]

I'd say low to moderate flow, medium lighting. That's just what's worked for me though.

I do occasionally feed mine with some shrimp and they will close up around it and take it, but they do fine without. They are a bit more delicate than Discosoma, but can be split carefully by razorblade. I recently did this with good success. I'd do no more than one even split though. They are slower to replicate by natural division, especially compared to Discosoma/Actinodiscus. Even slower than yumas, IME.

 

[clownnut]

They are mushroom, low-med light, same as the flow.
this is first time in years i am able to order them, they are rare, and hard to find, but i talked to tico mike, he got some green one years ago. according to him, they grow to about 3-4" across, i am not sure about how fast they split.
Tico, do they split?

 

[irish02bk]

What do they cost in the LFS? rare probably means $$

 

[tico mike]

I had the greens for several years. They maybe each split ones in about four years. They got plenty big though.

 

[spsick]

sweet, the little "feet" are weird looking

I got mine from SWE the other day, was priced within reason. Thanks again Li

 

[Jim E.]

Thanks Li for posting this thread. I read it at work while the boss wasn't looking, manufactured an excuse to take off an hour early, and sped all 68.7 miles to SWE so I could beat the rush. I chose a nicely-sized pre-mounted red one for a reasonable price, & then rushed back to New Ulm. It's just gone through my dipping procedure (I try to play safe), and its polyps are poofing.

& thanks especially to Nanofins for describing your experience.

Looks neat. I saw a pic of a green and red one long ago, but nothing else in a long time.
