Hig789 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Found some pics of some of the corals I used to have in my 90g and this grape coral was by far my favorite. Wish I could have a frag of it now. I bought it and it was only 5 or 6 small heads. It was about 7-8" at the widest in this picture. Anyone here have one of these? You don't see them very often. Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I have a single headed grape coral- I got it at the LFS hospital with one head all goo and dremeled off another head. I'll try to get a picture in a few minutes. Link to comment
Hig789 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Almost every store I have seen except live aquaria has them mislabeled IMO. Most are selling frogspawns as grapes. Mine had single tenticales like a torch but they were only about 3/4" long. Link to comment

markalot Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I miss my grape coral as well. I killed it 2 years ago in my 20 gallon and have yet to see it offered again. I managed to get two heads before I crashed my tank. Link to comment

Just about an inch, guessing. Not huge but it was in bad shape when I got it, recovered, and started growing. Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Yeah that looks like the ones on LiveAquaria. Just don't understand why mine had such short polyps though. This one seems to be growing as a "Wall" rather than splitting into more heads- maybe its not a grape after all Link to comment
