Purple Death help

[colinadam]

Hi everyone,

I scored a Purple Death polyp and just got it in today. I will be acclimating it tonight when I get home.

Any advise for a purple death nubie?
I have heard not to do a FW dip but to dip it in Lugols/SW mix. About how many drops of Lugols?

Thanks for any help

Pictures and plenty of future frags if it does well for me *crossing fingers*

well from another newb with purple deaths they like flow and light and like to be fed mine has gone from one to six in two months and as far as dipping with lugals ive used 1-2 drops per cup of water for 10min dip but i use tmpcc now which i think works much better and safer.
then

now

gess throw one of nuc's and ive fraged a couple off allready lol

What do you feed them? Little pieces of mysis?

Thanks for the info.

ive found cycylpeeze to be a more quickly ingested food, otherwise fish tend to steal the mysis away before they can eat it.
