BulkRate Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 So last weekend I went to round up all the loose Dragon's Breath in my tank as part of an impending trade. Once done I decided it wasn't enough to be a fair trade for the couple of zoa frags the other party was offering so I went and pinched off about 1/3 of my main clump above where it was anchored. Trade went well, zoas are opening (small one of orange "bam-bams" and "candy apple greens"). But then this started happening a few days later: What gives? I practically have this stuff coming out the wazoo and it clearly doesn't mind being separated from the main mass. I have a couple other small starts in the tank of it, so I'm more concerned on whether I pruned it incorrectly, to be honest. Advice? Link to comment
vlangel Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I don't have any advise but wondered if the dragon's breath returned to normal? I have some and just wondering what to expect. LOL Link to comment
BulkRate Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Nope, once it turns that color it's dead, at least in my experience. I wound up removing the discolored areas at the nearest narrow spot and throwing out the bright orange bits. So far, so good and anything I lost is well on its way towards regrowing. Link to comment
DC5 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Yes, only the tips should be orange, right? Link to comment
