You think aptaisia are bad....

[Lampshade]

It's actually very bad, mine spawn and keep growing buds in the middle of monti's, etc. They seem to be far more aggressive than any other SPS in my tank, so generally sting like crazy with sweepers that are 3X the size of the bud, before i find it and try to remove it. At least with aptaisia once you nuke it, it's gone, these pocci's you can't kill. .

I seem to have the same pink pocci's whatcaneyedo linked. I've let a few of them grow, is it normal for them to only be "healthy" at the top? it seems that as they grow the base is dieing, it bleaches then turns to rock, meanwhile the rest of the colony continues to grow. I was worried about bugs for awhile, but none of my other SPS is showing anything bad, only these pocci's.

I got mine from Reefer Rob in Langley and I've sold frags from it to a lot of people since then. So you may very well have the exact same one as I do.

Only the top inch or so of mine is alive as well. Everything below that turned white and then died.

Haha, yep, i got a bunch of rock off ReeferRob when he shut down, that's where they came from. Good to know it's the pocci that grows like that, my green pocci is green right to the base, was starting to wonder about these pink ones. Thanks.

If anyone's wanting to add this plague to your tank, let me know, i have some frags :P
