Then & Now -coral

2 years ago, I got my 1st coral. At that time, I was not sure how it will go. Thought of just sharing the journey.

I meant how you got that coral looking that way while the clowns hosting it.

Thanks. I have not done anything special . Just lucky I guess.

5% weekly water change. Hand feed them (all corals) once a week with raw shrimp/ raw chicken.

I will post the pics of other corals journey later today/tomorrow.

I wish my trumpet would start to grow some more heads, but it has had two mouths for Idk how long.

Never heard of raw chicken being fed. Maybe that's the trick😁

I bought them off ebay (cheap ones). I will check it.

I had fragged my trumpet and the other also grew big. But then I moved it and put it in a place where I guess it didnt like it. It shriveled and died off. I cannot seem to grow supposedly beginner corals like zoa, gsp, acans....

A lot of us have a certain coral or corals we couldn't keep.

 

I never could keep zoas or gsp, lack of nutrients is what I suspect since I have gsp growing now, and nutrients. 

 

Acans I have had luck with except my pico.

Great job on your husbandry....No better feeling in the hobby than raising a small frag into a big beautiful colony.
