ezcompany Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 The connective tissue between established polyps is being sliced and in some cases V grooved so the coral going in to survival mode and starts pushing out buds. Something like that. err, diagram or pics? Link to comment
fraggle rockette Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 someone mail me one... i wanna try it too Link to comment
sambo123 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I just took a razor blade and ran it between two polyps, I went all the way through till I hit the rock. I already have multiple buds on my RPE, I m not ready to do it to my PPE though. I only have 2 polyps. Link to comment
mvite Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 err, diagram or pics? Yeah--I have a three dimensional schematic hologram tattoed on my ass. But only my wife gets to see it. The first page shows pics of how I basically cut them. It's not rocket scientricism. Just try not to cut a polyp. I am just slicing through the connective membrane between polyps. I don't get very close to actual polyps except for the itty bitty ones. Link to comment

SeeDemTails Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Looks good Mvite! I sliced mine and they have healed, now lets see if it turns into a bud. Link to comment
ENraged Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Any one else every have their PPE skirts change color? Mine is starting to blend in with the center??!? Maybe its my Crap PC light? The bulbs are only a month or 2 old. Link to comment
sandlot13 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 anyone done this with regular zoos? Link to comment
mvite Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 Awright! I started this thread on 3/11/07 with 5 polyps---and I have 15 today. I don't know if you can call that slow, average or quick. I think it's average. Well, cuz I can't stop playin with em---I cut three singles frags that were looking to be rogues--like they were away from the rest and easy to frag. I then cut, (sliced and left on the rock), the remaining colonies that were on the original rocks. When I cut the new frags, I used my dremel to slide under the polyps--so I got rock with all of them. Well see how many will grow now. Link to comment

Franklin, Grant and Jackson are consoling me.... wow... yeah, that's quite a deal for the PPE's.. I hear yeah man... I watched and cringe to see 9 PPE polyps just wither away for no reason... I broke my main PPE colony into several mini colonies... :( I hope to grow them back to their glory days... atleast I'll have this pic to show that I really had a nice colony... I think they were up to 40+ polyps... this pic was taken 04-14-07.. they covered the upper end of the rock.. then withered away.. Link to comment
