Default Our latest addition - Red Rhizo Rhizotrochus

We are ecstatic over this interesting coral, and new addition to our tank.

Originally from the coast of Japan, found in deeper cool waters, very personable and fun to interact with.

Looks a bit like a giant dendro. Neat.

I can't say that I think I've heard "personable" used to describe a coral before.

Kind of cool to see it open its mouth and wait for you to notice and give it a Silver Side which it greedily takes from your fingers by closing its mouth on the fish and slowly working it in with its tentacles. Bit of a slow process, but it wouldn't be quite as fun if it was over too quick. We really have to get a life.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing? How can a coral be "Personable"? Not trying to start anything, just can't wrap my mind around this description.
