FlowerMama Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Such a nice color on that chili coral. Looks good hanging there. Nice spot. Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 Sweet- chili coral what are you feeding? Phyto, oyster feast and some other filter feeder stuff. I wait for the polyps to come out then target feed with that mix. I'm hoping I don't kill it Well, I've been working on the tank all freaking day. One thing I had to do was take all the rocks I had arranged out because somehow I knocked my Katropora off the tonga and I still can't find it! I don't get how it could just disappear altogether. Still looking! Tank is a cloudy drippy mess at the moment Link to comment

ReefWeeds Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 REMEMBER WHEN I WAS THE ONES WITH HANDS IN THE TANK I sure do!!! I can tell you, I am you on steroids right now I'm sick of having my hands in the tank. Can't wait until I'm done and can sit back and watch stuff grow. My hands are so dried out to the point that they're just cracking. YUCK. Awesome! Good find! Kat would've killed me Link to comment

Here's the scenario I had worked out :1. Stella is my secret Santa. 2. She "loses" her Katropora. 3. Much wailing and gnashing of teeth ensues. 4. She sends ME THE KATROPORA. 5. I am so surprised and happy Oh well Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Stella! I posted a picture of my Katropora in the Katropora thread- what do you think? It's getting sort of weird lol. Light green base with purple polyps but higher is purple flesh! Link to comment

Light green base with purple polyps but higher is purple flesh! I don't have much experience with Acros at all but what I've read is that they will change colors based on environment. So the same coral in my tank could look totally different in yours depending on a lot of factors such as lighting, feeding, parameters, etc. etc. and that's the extent of what I know! Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Are you panicking Harry? Sounds like you're panicking. PANICKKKKKKKKK No I'm good. Was a bit confused that it wouldn't turn light blue like the Katropora colony you have but then Stella explained that it's different. Link to comment
metrokat Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 PANICKKKKKKKKK No I'm good. Was a bit confused that it wouldn't turn light blue like the Katropora colony you have but then Stella explained that it's different. The Kat grow out colony has a darker green flesh (Darth Kat) but the growth tips which are fragged look like the main colony in color. The grow out colony is under different light (better IMO because I have a hybrid and people don't) Posting top down pictures in the Kat thread that I just took. Don't panic Harry. Stella! I posted a picture of my Katropora in the Katropora thread- what do you think? It's getting sort of weird lol. Light green base with purple polyps but higher is purple flesh! Yes. Light green base is where the growth/encrustation is happening - that flesh will be lighter green, and it is also an area getting the best light as it is flat - again the proper color. Higher purple flesh are your coralites - they are crowded togethe rin your frag - this will change as you see upward growth and more "flesh" comes into view vs coralites only. Does that make sense?

gena Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Glad you found your coral . Hope all is settled in there now for you! Careful with Bert dropping sand on your blastos. The sand will kill them over time and it doesn't take long. Pretty much is the same for any LPS in my experience. Link to comment
Merthynia Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I LOVE Bert. That could keep me entertained for hours watching him. My brother's never put that much effort into doing anything, he just liked to dart in and out of one of the rocks instead! Link to comment
