You think aptaisia are bad....

Hey, I am just happy that the RTN has stopped for some time now... One day I hope to have these growth problems also.

Where can I get some of this "problem" coral from? I'd love to have this problem as well.

Another "problem" coral I am having is my Kenya trees that keep forming all over. I love it!

"Ohhhh my corals grow TOO much. Oh it drains my soul to see them everywhere!!"

Sorry ... on the grand scale of things to whine about ... this is one of the dumber ones!!!! What's next, the colours are too bright? Oh, the saturation hurts my retinas!!! You have no idea how terrible it is!

I had mine spawn once. Kept finding little colonies all over the place. They all eventually got out stung though... Oh, alk swings help take them out too

They are one of the few broadcast spawners that can spawn asexually. Need feature, bad for Brad's tank :P

you know that problem where it's often difficult to mount any frags on the lower few inches of rock? I kinda got that covered now

[muck]

Brad, where can i send a donation to help you in your plight... maybe for a new chisel? Nobody should have to deal with this. It just isn't right...

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.
