ENraged Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Mines not so friendly! wont even come out and introduce its self very rude!! Link to comment
jimmy595 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Give it time, the PPE is a freak some times, like mine often will not close when i pull the rock out of the water, they just kind of shrink down, but are still open and I'm like uhh time to frag guys, lets assume that fetal position that you know all too well.

mvite Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 The frag i just received the other day has been playing peek-ah-boo with me since i put it in the tank! the smaller of the poylps opens enough to stick it mouth out and the adult just sits there. I am hoping it does what you are talking about. Hmmm....has it ever opened since you got it? Link to comment
sandlot13 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Haha, Im really liking this thread for some reason....... wishing I had some PPE's to join in the fun with.... might have to experiment with other zoas instead. Link to comment
ENraged Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Hmmm....has it ever opened since you got it? nope not as of 2:00 est. i do see signs of life no slime and all that so i am not worried as of yet. Let hope tomorrow is the magic day that they decide to come out and show me their splendor Link to comment

Gerber77 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I fragged a few polyps of my PPE from my colony. I have a single polyp on a reef disk. I want to take a razor blade through the mouth but do I cut the whole polyp in half? How fast have yours recovered? Link to comment

I only scored the membrane between the polyps. I took some crappy pics---and deleted them but I have one or two new heads. I'm not sure if they wouldn't have grown anyway. I may stick it with a bunch of pins next. I have to snip a polyp for a buddy that I owe one to--but other than that---I'ma gonna poke the heck out of the membrane in a couple days. Link to comment
Gerber77 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I havent done it yet and now I wont. I think I will let them grow naturally and let you narly experts do the science experiments. Link to comment
ENraged Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Hmm--I would put it lower. the second day i have it about mid tank just today i put it closer to the lights. so far its been on the bottom, mid, and now top. Link to comment
Ursus Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 lgreen, If you ever get to the point of fragging those bad boys out, I'm only a stones throw away Link to comment
Izzue Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Ok Im in Ill refrag to another LR 2 sets of 2 today... These I have are extremely slow growers, so Ill give it a try. Izzue Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Yeah I will post some growth pics of mine too. I am not going to score them, so there a control for ya. Is this monthly I assume? Or are we gonna wait a while and then compare? Link to comment
jimbro Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I may stick it with a bunch of pins next. Mark, you're going to start the next trend - acupuncture for PPEs. If you get good growth rates sticking them with pins people will hire trained acupuncturists for their palys, with weekly therapy sessions for the ones that refuse to 'open up'. Link to comment
sandlot13 Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 hahahahaha, acupuncture for PPE's!!!!!!!! freakin awesome Link to comment
mvite Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 Oh it's gonna happen! Once the new buds sprout more. I had to travel for work so I drove today to get it outta the way. Otherwise I would post some pics. I owed a buddy a PPE polyp---so I snatched one off. It was easy because the membrane was already cut and healed away. It looks to have a bud started on it previously. I see at least 2-3 other small "bubbles"---the areas where they sprout start to look like bulging balloons, all shiny and round. They all aren't coming from where I cut em necessarily. Link to comment

Do you have any pics of your buddys' PPE polyp? Link to comment
mvite Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Do you have any pics of your buddys' PPE polyp? I will take some tomorrow and get em up there, buddy! I handled them today---and they all have tiny baby bulges --- there are at least 3-5 new buds started. Now that I fragged one---I think I will split the group into 2 or 3 pieces. One of them won't be messed with---we'll call that the "lame" group! I will get to messin and will post some pics soon. Link to comment
