That's one crazy looking snail..cool looking...but look like it would get wedged in my rock work if I were to get one. Do they reside solely in the sand?

I've seen the two of them on the glass two maybe three times. Rest of the time they're in the sand.

An update on this mariculture piece. This thing is super hairy. Bright green polyps with a bright hot pink/fuchsia flesh. I've started calling this "The Hairy Pinky"

Here's a another shot of it with the polyps a little retracted showing the hot pink flesh goes through the entire branch.
I think this one has turned out pretty nice. It's been about 3.5 months since I got it.

What's the general consensus on when a maricultured or wild colony is considered conditioned or reliable in captivity? A year?
Looks really cool though with how different it can appear depending on polyp extension!

For me, it's really isn't about time. There's too many variables to consider. Between pests, swinging parameters from not so good husbandry, equipment failures, bacteria, etc, I'm good if I see it's growing, encrusting and gaining color. Then keeping it alive is possible. Yeah, it could be more sensitive than other corals, but as long as someone can grow it, there's a way.
