I ordered some Anthelia polyps from IPSF about 3 months ago.   They didn't
look like much when I got them.  There were probably 4 or 5 on a little
clam shell.   I e-mailed the guy at IPSF (can't remember his name) and
asked him what conditions they like.   He responded and told me to put them
near the bottom of the tank for about the first month  while they acclimate
and then after that he said I could put them just about anywhere.   I was a
little concerned because some places I had read that Anthelia were hard to
keep alive.   IPSF's are captive raised and so far are very hardy (even
after they got accidently burried for a couple days)  and spreading nicely!
I still have them near the bottom of the tank with medium current and there
are new ones popping up all over the shell they came on and now spreading
to a rock I have the shell sitting in.   I can not say enough about IPSF or
the quality of their livestock.

Hope this helps
Dave

I am about to place an order from IPSF & considering  adding Anthelia
polyps but they don't have pics. on their site. Has anyone ordered these
before, I wonder which kind they have & what size.

Chris
