Husbandry know-how of owners

Besitze ich im "Schwarm" von ca. 20 Tieren auf einem Stück LGestein. Ich füttere Phytoplankton und es werden nicht weniger, aber auch nicht mehr Tiere. Wachsen tun sie sehr langsam, Beleuchtung benötigen sie anscheinend sehr wenig.

Habe auch solche Seescheiden auf lebenden steinen Füttere Plankton und lebende Artemia bis jetzt hält sie sich ganz gut.

Habe diese schöne Seescheide seit einer Woche mit dem Lebendgestein erhalten, sie ist insgesamt 5-6 cm groß. Habe sie jedoch bis jetzt nicht mit plankton zugefüttert, welches ich aber in den nächsten Tagen vorhabe. Ansonsten scheint sie nicht all zu empfindlich zu sein, (noch nicht).
Werde bald weiteres berichten.
