Yes they are... except to Aiptasia anemones....

Will they eat yellow star polyps? They kind of resemble aiptasia in appearance..

Got about 20 peppermint larvaes from AT, and I manage to keep 4 of them alive. The are coming to 5weeks old and about 1cm in length with super long legs.

Should be settling soon I hope (maybe the next moulting) and then it will be easier as they will be transferred into the tank.

They are fed with rotiers on the 1st few days and then rotifers and bbs after that. Perform about 20% water change every or every other day.

Woah...20% success rate is commendable! Morgan..next time my harlequin spawn I pass you the larvae?
