Hey everyone, how much does Rhizotrochus typus usually cost, I just bought one for $10. It is 2" across by 1.5" wide. Never bought one or seen one for sale before, thought it was very pretty.
Also what care does it need?

TIA

Any pics? They're typically well over $100.

i bought mine for 85 i think from a LFS, mine typically likes lower light conditions and he's eating mysis and krill atm, just be careful he generally gets robbed by my shrimp and hermit crabs i plan on getting something that i can place over him while he eats to protect him from my inverts

I have it in my little 20 g quarantine tank, how much flow should it get and how often should I feed it? As soon as it got in my tank it opened up and I feed it a couple pieces of shrimp and it gobbled it up, really cool. I will try to get some pic but I am horrible at it.

Does anyone else has some pics of theirs, mine is red with orangeish tentacles.

I hate to be the wet blanket in the group but I thought this article was a interesting read:
