Astinus Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 More RFAs... duhhhhhh!! Like ya!... Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 If you check VIPReef's site it'll tell you they don't sting corals and I've seen it vice versa, where other corals are stinging my rfa. 2 Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 can i mix rics with them?? most of my rock flowers migrated to the sandbed so i want to move my rics from sandbed to the rock but there are still 2-3 RFAs on it. Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 VIPs site says they don't sting. It did nothing to my bowerbanki or clam or grandis paly. That's all I know because mostly all of mine have been with rfas. Hopefully some other people can tell me how they've done for them. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mirya Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 I currently have an RFA sitting with my Paly grandis and another with my Ricordea florida. All parties are doing fine. I've also had a Borneman's anemone (same genus, different species as RFAs) sit in the middle of RFAs and everyone was fine. My clam didn't seem to like it when one of my RFAs walked next to it. Don't know if it was because it just didn't like something brushing up against its mantle or it it was actually being stung. In the past I've had photosynthetic Gorgonians and Zoanthids remain closed up when in proximity to RFAs. The Gorgonians slowly died. I've had an Elegance coral sting my Borneman anemone. THe Borneman's tentacles were retraced for a few days, then he wised up and moved out of range of the Elegance. 1 Quote Link to comment

Mirya Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Couple of babies hanging out on daddy this morning. Can you post a link to a bigger version of that please? Quote Link to comment
My tiny reef Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Can you post a link to a bigger version of that please? I'm not sure if I know how to, but maybe this?? http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm52/cclary_christy/Mobile%20Uploads/image_44.jpeg Quote Link to comment

I had an RFA climb next to a small seasons greetings cap frag and the cap almost lost before I moved it. However, I have another RFA next to a BIG piece of idaho grape and both are just fine. I also have a couple of RFAs by a neon toadstool and everyone is happy. I think it really varies coral to coral. I would give it a try on a weekend when you are home and can keep a close eye on things. 1 Quote Link to comment

seabass Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 So I was just moving some RFA babies onto the rocks, and I kept noticing more showing up. I looked around and saw one giving birth. These are a little larger and more developed than the previous pics that I took. Here's the iPhone video of it giving birth: 7 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Wow! It's the biggest baby I've ever seen. Congrats!!!!!! Can't wait to see what it looks like. And this reminded me, I need to feed mine tonight. I just got my 40g wet tonight to start over again!!! 2 Quote Link to comment
My tiny reef Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 That's awesome seabass! Ive noticed mine is delivering at different times too, she has a couple I can still see in her disc that I'm hoping she holds onto for a lot longer till they get big and fat. 1 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Yeah, avoid a water change at this time, anything that'll give her more stress could cause her to pop it out. 1 Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Wow! It's the biggest baby I've ever seen. Congrats!!!!!! Can't wait to see what it looks like. Thanks. It's about 3mm in diameter. Here's one of the one day old babies. 2 Quote Link to comment

FlowerMama Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Love your pictures! That one looks so blue, the whites do turn pretty in blues. I take it that's with a camera versus phone? Quote Link to comment
