First where are located? Second have you grown one back to a full plate? I was curious as to how long it would take given the right enviorment for it to grow to its full potential.

Im located in Newport Beach/Costa Mesa. I have grown several frags back to full plate sized.

 

The "Big Sky" is actually a third generation plate now, I grew a frag out to about half the size of the mother was then fragged again and in 8 months had the 2.5" plate seen in the photo labeled "mother". I believe that plate to be a Halomitra sp. cuz it forms multiple mouths in the center but not on the growth edge. I think this is why it grows so fast.

 

that being said i have also grown out several small cycloceris/fungia plates from frags, usually starting as a pie slice then they from a smaller plate around the mouth section of the original frag like so:

Eventually becoming:

From slice to first signs of growth is usually only a couple months with bright light and regular feedings, then another 5 or so months before it is a nice little plate, at that stage i usually lop off the original slice and let the plate round off like that. Ive never kept any long enough to get them to 2-3" like the mothers were, usually trading them off for other colors or cutting again around 1" or so.

 

that being said ive had some get there faster, others much slower, so it all depends on the particular plate.

 

 

in other news one of the "all three for $80" deals is gone, only one more frag of the Jason Pollock and the Big Sky left. Still have a few of the Godzilla ;)

 

took some shots of the Godzilla frags today, they looked excellent all extended and such :)

^ Buy with confidence! Got a couple cool dendro/tubastrea a while back and couldn't be happier. Great packing and corals.

 

thanks sir.

 

So all thats left if the Godzilla plate frags, have 4 left. the pics really dont do this coral justice. the glitter is intense.
