tuan Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 They're fast grower when the conditions is right. Look at the coral pic above, can you see a 1cm rim around the edge that looks lighter colour? That's the growth edge I get around every 2/3weeks. One tip, do not try to mount them using putty, instead wedge your frag into a rock crevice so the growth edge touches the rock. This way it will grow a much stronger base. I didnt do this and my colony has broken off it's mounting point 3 times, each time losing quite bit pieces of 'petal'. It's now just sitting in a hole between 3 pieces of rocks.

SRC Member reefer guy Posted February 18, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted February 18, 2005 i didnt glued it in a rock either, coz as ive notices, polyps were extending underneath as well, so let it sat on a tonga rock, and it just encrusted from the back.... seen white tips as well, just hoping mine will "scroll" as nice as ur piece man!

SRC Member LaW Posted April 2, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted April 2, 2005 Two year's growth: wohoohohohoooo Quote If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless. Genesis 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

SRC Member scarab Posted April 17, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 17, 2005 Wow some nice growth there, calvinci...........especially on the green monti cap and the purple valida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member calvinci Posted April 17, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted April 17, 2005 thanks for the compliment, I didn't even know that's valida, any idea what's the id of the first monti, orange and green polyps on purple base, actual color is more intense, my DC can't capture it's true color. btw I am using weipro 2014 now, plan to upgrade to deltec afp600, will it be a problem for reducing the nutrient too fast? Afraid of too quick change, STN/ RTN is something I don't want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afraid of too quick change, STN/ RTN is something I don't want. Well, the purple thin branch does look like valida. You really don't know what monti is the first one? Purple base with green polyps in the centre and orange polyps on the edge??? Rainbow monti my friend, take good care of it........ Upgrading skimmer doesn't cause problem unlike adding phosphate remover. Think your SPS will love the skimmer upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainbow has green polyps in the centre and orangey red polyps at the growth edge. Superman danae has red polyps throughout (no green). You got Superman danae ah??

SRC Member calvinci Posted April 17, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted April 17, 2005 ya... I found out superman danae was so name because it has red polyps against blue base, just like superman S logo. I don't superman danae, too bad . Anyway I got a brown frag last 2 week, at U$20 too, and it turn out to be a tricolor now, slowly coloring up now..
