WillyWonka Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Hey i like this poll thing. what does everyone think about these four corals. i already have all of the livestock listed below and will place this coral on the bottom of my tank, considering the space factor. Link to comment
The Unit Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 HAMMER....that is one neat coral.......u have the light for it too.....oh and it wouldnt let me vote for somereason....??? Link to comment
HuBu Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 bubble coral man. they even have the green bubble coral. much better than the common pearl color. Link to comment
WillyWonka Posted July 18, 2002 Author Share Posted July 18, 2002 do bubble corals do well at the bottom or are they better up high? Link to comment
NanoReefer53 Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 there's a chance of problems for bubble corals and hammers in a 12g tank. The both have sweeper tentacles that will kill surrounding corals so it might be a bad choice. If you go for the sun coral, it will require feeding almost everynight since it is non photosynthetic. I vote for sun coral though Link to comment
OscarBeast Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Hammers a neat. They don't ususally get too big of sweepers. Bubble on the other hand is a real beast. I really can't say much though, I actually keep galaxia. Muahah That stuff has some monster sweepers! I actually had to mount it to the side of a rock over an open area and put a pump on that that blows the sweepers away from everthing. If that pump fails, only God can help the other critters and that whole side of the tank, cause they are GOING DOWN! Link to comment
Mnesarchus Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 I voted for bubble corals, from what I understand they are easy to maintain and quite lovely to look at, particularily the green ones. Watch out for sweeper tenticles, though. Link to comment
The Unit Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 hey Mnesarchus what is that equation in your sig.??? Link to comment
NaNO ReeFiN Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Seeing that equation gives me nightmares... :*( Link to comment
Lunchbucket Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 i say candy. least aggressive, grows well, multiplies easy to trade frags. bubble and hammer have sweeper issues and a sun would have to be fed DAILY! Lunchbucket Link to comment
Dave ESPI Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Originally posted by NanoReefer53 there's a problem for bubble corals and hammers in a 12g tank. The both have VERY LONG sweeper tentacles that will kill surrounding corals so it might be a bad choice. Since U are limited on space, your frogspawn will grow and cover most of the tank when it expands. U might want to think about some Polyps and zoanthids.... to fill in the blanks. dont crowd a small tank. Make ONE coral the focus of the tank, and work around it.X) Link to comment
Sahin Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 I would take Daves advice, but if you do still want another coral, go for a candy coral. They are very nice IMO and dont bother other corals. Easy/hardy coral. And yes, like already said, can be fragged quite easily and sold at LFS for credit etc. Link to comment
NaNO ReeFiN Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Haha, you guys are to late... I already helped Willy pick out his next coral at the LFS earlier today... Link to comment
NaNO ReeFiN Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 He was about to get the candy cane coral but decided to wait and got something else instead. I'll let him tell you guys what he got. Link to comment
WillyWonka Posted July 18, 2002 Author Share Posted July 18, 2002 well guys and gals, after having surveyed the aqautic warehouse for a while i took in consideration that my frogspawn had a tragic accident last night when my pump slid down 3 inches and blew the poor guy to bits. i think he's dead. there are little flouresent green pieces on the substrate. there might be a chance for survival but its highly unlikely, so i'll wait a couple days to see if he recovers. So in the mean time i figured i would wait to put something up high and purcahsed a White Plate Coral. He looks pretty good with thoes thick white tenticles blowing in the current. So the winner of the Poll is The CandyCane Coral which i will buy next week if there are any fine specimens at my LFS. Thanks for the help yall. WW Link to comment
Dave ESPI Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 DUDE..... Plate corals SUCK ESPICALY LONG TENTICLES.... you shoulda researched it. and FOR THE LOVE OF YER TANK siphon out the dead tissues. yer tank is running a foul....... "AVAST YEE SWABBIES ! arrrr": Link to comment
cjm033 Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm candy cane :P .................. o i voted for candy cane coral ,Chris:D Link to comment
WillyWonka Posted July 18, 2002 Author Share Posted July 18, 2002 Hey now, i like my plate coral! Sorry you cant be more optomistic about it Dave, but it is in my tank:P Link to comment
WillyWonka Posted July 19, 2002 Author Share Posted July 19, 2002 yeah i actually noticed my plate coral tonight extending farther than i thought it would. it almost doubled in size! thank goodness its tenticles are only a half inch long and its positioned in a culdisac away from everything else in the bottom of my tank. so far a great purchase i love the way they look.
