Well. I have 3 of them actually. One huge one that is easily 1foot round when fully open that I got from MikeP. It is still doing very well and I rarely target feed it. Its does get cylcopeeze in the water regularly though. Had it probably 4-5 months now.

The other blue tip has been growing well over about 4 months also. Had to move it around the tank a lot to find a position it would open at, and it is doing great now high in the tank.

The white one I had has slowly dwindled away, still alive but 1/4 of when I got it and it just barely extends now. It won't last more than another month or two. This one never had long feeder tentacles though so I think if you find a nice long tentacle one, they can easily do well with lots of light, minimal flow and regular food.

they accept cyclopeeze? do you notice a feeding response? i was under the impression that they were nutrient hungry, maybe accepting phyto at the most. that's awesome if you notice growth. you should try and determine the species you've had success with and document your husbandry techniques. it would be beneficial to the hobby since there's not a lot of long-term success with these.

how long have you had the white species?
