The nice green bubble (mediem size) is starting about $40.00, big green bubble about $80.00.

Bubbles are relatively cheap and hardy corals. Got my first from reborn. Survived though my water temp was 31 to 32 when my lights were on.

Unfortunately, Upgrading works in my block killed my whole tank. Hai.

Anyway, reborn usually carries quite a bit of them. If u are looking for bubbles, give them a call or drop by.

Sorry guys not advertising reborn but never been to other reputable places like aquamarin so i not so sure what stocks are there.

Cheers,

i have this bubble coral which does not open up well. this is the biggest it will go.

you guys will realise the bubbles are all distorted. they dun blow up at all....

any suggestions?

[FionaFiona]

i got ask an auntie from a LFS before.... she said not all bubbles will bloom up to BIG bubbles. some remain small. thats why the prices for those specimens that can bloom up big cost much more expensive than those that remain small.

your bubble has nice color though~

well, my thumb of rule is to view the full bloom size of the bubble before i decide to buy. if it didn't open in my tank like it does in the LFS, then i'll know the prob lies in my tank.

Those are pearl bubble, they do not grow as big as cat eyes or so call kidney bubble. Most of the branch type are pearl bubble.

Hrmz, upgrading works killed your whole tank? They cut off the electrical supply to your whole block u mean?

Colin, yours belong to the pearl bubble family, judging the size from your picture, its already somewhere there, nothing to worry about.

[Maxstar81]

Can bubble tahan 28+ temp !?

I tried hammer b4 & melted in 2 days.

Dunno isit temp or other factors.

All help appreciated.

[Qxnviolet]

Hrmz, dunno if its just only temperature that caused your hammer to melt but many reefers recommand a temperature of not more than 28 degrees for LPS. But maybe you got yourself an unhealthy specimen? Was it opening big in the LFS when you first saw it?

[KennethK]

Last time i never use chiller oso always melt. Now i have a chiller seem okie.

okok thanx bro.. juz realised its quite healthy... nothing wrong wif it...

thanx bro!

[colinsoon]

anyway juz asking, is it normal for bubbles to form sweeper tentacles even in the day? cos i juz got 1, the polyps quite big already, but still got sweeper tentacles... like its doing an all round defence...

[Qxnviolet]

Hrmz, i guess theres nothing to worry, mine comes out during the day occassionally too. Do you feed your corals with anything?

Hrmz, upgrading works killed your whole tank? They cut off the electrical supply to your whole block u mean?

The upgrading caused the electrical socket that all my equipment depended on short circuited. All my pumps were blown and melted. Since i covered my tank with news paper to stop dust from getting in, i didn't noticed. so the whole tank of living things DIED. Very sad man. My bubble survived a while before if melted away too.

[mkt]

has anyone tried feeding market prawn to bubbles?

[pop]

Last time i never use chiller oso always melt. Now i have a chiller seem okie.

So how long did u kept the bubble at this temp? I am thinking of keeping one. Using fan to keep the temp 27-29 degree. Possible to keep one?

[FionaFiona]

Yep, possible.

[pop]

Yep, possible.

Thks. Any idea where i can get some smaller specimens?

[monpire]

My tank has no chiller...temp normal at 27.5C... bubbles, torch, fake octo, gonio, pipe, hammer, prata, brain, fox, rose...all doing well for for almost 6 mths, 2 branches of hammer died bcos it fed on dead anemone...hahaha

[keetkeet]

WOW! How do you maintain the tank temperature at 27.5 without chiller?

[monpire]

It's a 2ft nano and I'm only using PL light...I think it's just the structure of my flat...the spot beside the TV...

can I place 2 bubbles close together, will they sting each other?

[ong2ah]

can I place 2 bubbles close together, will they sting each other?

I dnt think so.. anyway, i have tried that.... a few mths back..put my brown pearl bubbles and green cateye bubble next to each other... they got "kiss" each other but no harm loh... from the info i get in this forum..its absolutely no problem to place corals of the same family 2gether

[fishtalk1517]

can I place 2 bubbles close together, will they sting each other?

No worries . they can be placed near one another. I've got a bubble whereby its tentacles are touching my brian and its still alright. No casualties

But when my frogsprawn got too close to the bubble, both clashes and sting one another
