How much do Rhizotrochus Typus go for?
Hello my US reefing chums

How hardy are these guys? A shipment of them came in at a local reef shop but they seemed to be in poor condition and I couldn't risk buying one and having it die.
Instead I bought a big dendro colony that I'm still waiting to open up lol. |

I had a low pH problem in my tank that lead to cyano and dinos. I lost some zoas, and to this day i'm just starting to get the zoas back to healthy.
But I was scared for my Rhizo. It started to receed on the edges and never opened up. I continued to feed it by removing it from the tank in a bowl. I went to daily feedings. Slowely as my tank got turned around, so did the Rhizo. Now it is always open and the edges have grown back out. After this experience i would say they are very, very hardy corals.

Yep I've found mine to be very hardy.
It's often hard to tell if rhizos are healthy because they only open during the night. |

Do they only open at night? I thought they were like dendros where they'd open slightly in the day and mostly at night.

During the day they're shrunken up and the skeleton is often visible through the tissue. At night they open up and look like the pics impur, racerw, and I have posted.

Sups Guys actually, My understanding is that they open and close as they please BOTH day and night Mine is open alot during the day BUT in agreeance it REALLY opens big at night ... Mine looks JUST like Stacies on the right...
NO I cannot get them about 6 mo ago I was offered 3 of them BUT LOL I didnt think that I could get the price to make the investment pay out LOL sometimes I impress myself with stupidity

Amazing looking coral, I've seen them in old posts and WISH I had one. Heard they are really large with long tentacles. I've never seen them in any LFS in my area. I've never seen a Dendro at a LFS in my area either, maybe I need to move to a new area anyone had success with them spawning. I think Jendub shows how they reproduce, I think that has a lot to do with the price of them also. They are from Japan correct?

I notice mine opens more when i haven't fed it in a week or so, and definately at night. Its suprising how long the tentacles can get. Freaked me out first time i saw it one night.

Is this related? They are small -- heads are about 3/4 inch and the polyps come out about an inch. A bunch came on my Caribbean rock .... don't know if you can see as they like the shade and my camera stinks.

My rhizo is about 1 inch head. I fed it every one month with fish or shrimp. This one is from Japan.
