Coral growth.

[Sahin]

Here is a pic of my orange centered brown buttons.

 

I took the two large one you see from the main rock and set them down in position you see. They attached within a day and now two weeks later, the two have produced 4 baby ones each.

Pretty cool I think.

My Pipe organ coral.

This coral is just amazing. I bought the frag for £1. The coral looks like Xenia and builds red tubes (hence pipe organ coral).

 

Its growing quite nicely in my tank. New parts are constantly growing.

 

FWIW, the large bunch at the LFS which noone has still bought, after being in their tanks for many many weeks I noticed a few days ago at the LFS is almost dead.

Oops, here is the Pipe Organ coral pic.

And just out of interest, here is updated pic of my brain coral. Its doing rather nicely.

 

I managed to pick up a healthy specimen, and it has paid off.

 

The brain puffed up quite nicely a day after being put into the tank.

 

I havent so far fed it manually.

Noticed the blue tinges as well as the green and the red colours. Just amazing.

nice brain Sahin. What are the dimensions?

 

I have a red open brain that was about 3 in. by 4 in. when I bought it back in January. It is now around 6 in. by 8 in. These are beautiful creatures..

Hi, the brain is approx. 3.5inches by 2inches.

 

I am quite surprised at the mentioned growth rate. It has roughly doubled in size in less than 8 months. Thats quite awesome. I wonder how much calcium it needed to assimilate in order to grow that much.

 

Thanks for mentioning this it will help me plan for futer growth.
