Placement of Pratas

[Travy]

Where is the best place to put them?

On sandbed? (No space...) On Rockwork? (thats where mine is now... Havent been expanding much... Bought yesterday.

But the funny thing is that when i came home this evening, it has it feeding arm out stretched!

[shoelevy]

[RAV-65]

u can place it anywhere with low flow and the calcium bone can sit stable... dun let it rock around...

[Tigger]

Its best placed on a plate with curry. Served hot and crispy!

[houndster]

I think you place it in my tank will be the best.. haha..

Wahahaha... good one!

On the sand. You'll damage the tissues no matter how you place them on the rockwork, even if they don't topple. Repeated expansion and contraction of tissue will lead to abrasions especially if they are next to rocks.

and u need a super deep sand bed to bury the whole calcium skeleton down. so thick! mine only 2inch sand bed, cannot fully enter.

Whoever buries pratas??? Just placing them upright on the sand will do..there is no need to bury the whole base......

[prec]

wah bury prata? no need la.. wait end up the prata cannot expand fully..

[Travy]

HAHA!

Hey thanks for the replies bro.

[Dazza]

I used to put my beautiful big red prata on the sandbed n it was doing so well until..................... one of my hermits pushed n topple a piece of stone onto it. Punctured n never recovered........... Gonzzooooooo

next to zoo? not very sure if it will sting the prata. zoo quite poison one.

[Travy]

Mine seemed to be doing fine leh... Not really bothered by it....

Maybe depends on types of zoos la...

Can someone tell me the scientific name for prata?

And maybe curry too?

Cynarina sp.

Saw 4 pratas with their original stalk still attached to L/R (one single colony) at Mainland LSF. 1st time seeing such.... normally they are sold as individual polyp. Damn nice Hope that the lady boss will sell...

[yooyoo99]

how about if the tank has no sand inside, bare bottom? mine prata is tilted on the bare glass, still have not figure out a way to hold it upright

[popper]

You could use a short length of pipe and place the prata in the middle.
