ngoodermuth Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 congrats, looks exactly like when my buds spawned in the tank. try and grow em out Thanks... but I'm not sure my tank can handle 20 (that I could see) more sun coral colonies?? Did yours grow out? If so, how would I remove them from the main rockwork without damaging them or bringing down the reef? Link to comment
lessergeneration Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 my bud had a bunch on the rocks out of that he had 3 grow out. she hot a lil cyclops at em every few days and they grew solid. you can take a chisel and knock em off the rock by takin a small bit of rock underneath them.

This thought makes me nervous lol... I guess I will wait and see how many make it before I have a panic attack Link to comment
reef-luva Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I say let them grow, all might not survive and you can always sell/trade them.... Link to comment
Sunstar Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I vote baby suns. I hear they do reproduce in the home aquarium relatively easy. survival is dependednt on spot feedings. Link to comment

I sure hope so- I'm in big trouble if they are nems lol I will not be able to spot feed them all, but I will try to get some of the more accessible ones to grow if I can The problem is, I already have nutrient issues from the momma... so I can't introduce more food to the system daily. Maybe once a week with my "big" feed before the WC, but I'm not sure that that will be enough for these little guys... Link to comment

I admit they do cause nutrient issues... my black sun requires daily feeding and it has a lot of m ouths. Link to comment
ngoodermuth Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Yep, daily here too. And I've got at least 30 polyps on the mother, the 2 liter feeding cap is the best I've been able to do since I've got greedy fish. I wish I could hand feed them with tweezers- less waste. Fish steal it right from the mouths though... Link to comment

I make sure hte TGD gets his noms and he leaves the sun alone. do you ever get stung by the sun? Link to comment

I've never been stung, I know that it is LPS so capable of course, but I didn't think they were known to be aggressive. Actually, I've read that they are sort of timid. Oh well, guess I'll be extra careful just in case Link to comment
