Mine's already branching... you guys need more nutrients lol =)

Of course the frags are ALL branching because they know I'm sorta screwed for space on my racks. Go figure...

More nutrients?? How?? What do you use?

Aquattro 11-04-2011 05:32 AM

To be fair, mine is a recent frag, and so far is still in good shape. Just not the color I'd like it to be.

As for nutrients, I feed my fish a lot, so I'm sure I've got lots of "nutrients" :)

Lol I'm just joking.

It's Murphy's Law coral edition. I have no space so they wanna grow. If they had space they'd likely STN on me :biggrin:

Very nice piece you have there!

Brad,

We got this the same time... this is still in my tank

but not for long as it is going to its rightful owner this weekend.

I definitely think it has potential... thinking about keeping it for myself:lol:
Has only been four weeks... sure it will colour up nicely before the end of 2011.

Ya, we'll see. It's still in the rack, so I can't expect much. I'm out of room, so it makes it tough :) Especially since I just bought a couple more colonies.

I will third this notion. I owned one (maricultured colony) for a year before it coloured up. It was beautiful green with pink tips for about 4 months and then went down hill again. Tried this coral a second time and it STNd on the base. I now have 4 medicore frags of this guy.

This is par for the course on this difficult SPS. Read about the same experience from tons of SPS geeks.
