these things grow like crazy

i went from 1 polyp to 17 in about 2 months

I grew out two colonies, both from 3 heads. One was at about 15 and the other is at 25+ heads. All within a couple of months. No feeding on my end.

They key might be not having them shipped. Shipping probably puts undue stress on them making them more likely to melt. Also depending on the source they could be fresh fragged or established frags....

My growth is zero since I have none Anybody has a couple polyps that I can have to try?

its possible for sure although i had mine shipped to me and they got lost in transit for 30hrs by purolator and spent a ful day at 30degrees in a van to never get delivered, i rushed there last minute after fighting with them....i even made a post about it on the random thought thread ,a few of us did, alot of my order was dead or died right away but these guys were open in the box lol

the first week my friends looked great and mine looked weak like how they are in the first picture, they quickly turned around.


funny though how its like that , i grew a colonie of darth mauls to 200 or more polyps , fragged a bunch of them and everyone elses are growing like weeds and the small colonie i kept for my self melted within a couple weeks later.

i got a replacement frag of a few polyps and they melted almost overnight.

finally said ill take one more frag , got it off zoaelite a 1 poylp healthy frag and it to never lasted but a few days.

i dont understand how the same system grows them to that size , then cant even keep it alive for a week just a few months later .

my head hurts now lol
