I kind of like it, anyone know what to call it when i go to a store?

iamwhatiam52 · 11/22/2009, 04:25 PM

Colonial tunicates.
Where is this from?

1DeR9_3Hy · 11/22/2009, 04:27 PM

sea dwelling creatures has it on there site, you can order it through a lfs.

Tunicates are one of those things...i dont know if anyone is keeping them successfully...right?

cerobbins · 11/22/2009, 04:28 PM

The SDC price list has it listed as an orange tiger tunicate

1DeR9_3Hy · 11/22/2009, 04:29 PM

How much?

NCSUsalt · 11/22/2009, 04:31 PM

enough wholesale that I don't think you'd probably like the retail

1DeR9_3Hy · 11/22/2009, 04:33 PM

Over $300 retail? as long as as i have someone with a SDC list, i have a few more questions

...give me a minute.

Sk8r · 11/22/2009, 04:33 PM

I don't know of anybody that has successfully kept tunicates. It's a lot to pay for a brief look at something that won't live in a tank.

1DeR9_3Hy · 11/22/2009, 04:34 PM

Price range on these:

Thats what i thought (arent they solely filter feeders only eating a certain size particulate matter?), but once you see something you have to know how much it is lol...

NCSUsalt · 11/22/2009, 04:47 PM

The tunicates you are probably looking in the 160-200 dollar range. for the first zoanthids are sold and are no longer on the list. the second would probably be around 100-120 and are listed as lunar eclipse

1DeR9_3Hy · 11/22/2009, 07:06 PM

Just got of the phone with my lfs, i ordered B3 i beleive.

Gary Majchrzak · 11/22/2009, 07:18 PM

B03 are "Lollypop Tunicates".

I've never heard of anyone keeping these alive for long in aquaria. Never.
Not to try and outguess George & Co. @ SDC but the first pic appears to be a type of Bryozoan.

The links you posted aren't mini carpet anemones.

1DeR9_3Hy · 11/22/2009, 07:21 PM

Thanks Gary...hmm...Whats B13, because its not B3 like i posted.

Gary Majchrzak · 11/22/2009, 07:38 PM

B13 is some type of Faviid. A 'closed brain'. I don't know the species nor the pop culture name. Sorry!

Neuticle · 11/22/2009, 07:44 PM

I have those things in the first picture in my tank, mine are black and white. I'm going to try to get a picture...

Bah....well i thought it would be fun to have someone with the list fill in the blank. It would help if i remembered the number....

I got a lunar eclipse rock

Neuticle · 11/22/2009, 08:08 PM

Mine are a little different, but very similar too. Camera sucks, but kinda looks like a coiled up zipper.

Gary Majchrzak · 11/22/2009, 08:13 PM

I have tunicates and Bryozoans in my aquarium. There are many species. Some make good aquarium specimens... however, I've never heard of anyone keeping the "Lollypop" Tunicates alive for long.

Cool critters, how long have they been there?

Neuticle · 11/22/2009, 09:17 PM

Not too long, they hitched in on the galaxia about two months ago. If my corals could grow as fast as that guy I'd put ORA out of business

organism · 11/23/2009, 12:42 PM

Those are ricordia yumas and tonga rhodactis respectively.

Awesome Yumas...i think they are gone already though. Thanks Miguel!
