Fragging orange gorgonia...

Those look very natural. How fast do these grow in your tank, prowland? What would happen if you fixed a frag on its side, will it grow from two ends? And how small can you frag these, would those small shards in the tub still grow?

 

A nice article too, jeremai.

Thanks for all the replies!!

 

clifford513: I like the photosynthetic gorg. as well and plan on getting some of that as well. hummmm more frags... i could do a multi type gorg. frag... that would be cool!

 

mahi mahi boy: I have not had a chance to see any growth as they have only been in my tank for about 2 weeks.

 

I woud assume you are talking about cutting a piece and attaching it on its side. I would guess that would not work as you would have to shave the entire side where you were attaching it. I just think it would be too much work and no idea if it would work.

 

I would assume you could frag them to a very small size as the one link stated that the small shards sometimes attach and grow.

 

I didnt have a wire stripper to remove the skin. I used the exacto knif pictured to "shave" the skin off so I didnt bother with saving the shavings as they were extreamly small.

I dunno about that---I heard that their coral is diminishing and that land-locked reefs of the EAST have banded together... :lol:

 

Can't you just see Prop doing a belly-flop into the gorgonian pool?

Well I moved all my stuff to a 10gal AGA... It is BB and I am going to increase the flow of it with an addition of a MJ900 PH.

 

Right now I have an AC50, MJ400, Wisper HOB 15, Cascade internal w/spray bar in the tank.

 

Here are a few pics of the frags:

The pics were taken after the move from my 5.5gal

 

In a few more days I am going to get ready for the shipping as they all are looking well after the fragging.

Mmmm...Mmmmmm...good -- They look very nice. I owe you some pics and will send them soon. I would like to ship to you on Tuesday of next week if that works. You can ship to me when you think they can be shipped.

Prowland--Way to stir it up man---My mouth is watering again!!!

 

Here are some zoas I will trade you if you like. About 10-20 of each if that's cool.

 

These have several shades of green and white--very nice.

And these are a khaki green color with a blue dot.

I was wondering where you were lurking with frags on the loose like this!! :lol:

 

The pic stretches them out a little. They aren't flat like palys.

You saw them!! How about the EEs?! Just for you!!

 

I have a couple green palys if you want to trade something.

 

PM me!!! Ha!! Beat you to it!!

I will get a pic posted in the AM as I am sleepy. They are looking even better since I transfered to the 10gal and got a PH pointed right at the glass in front of them so its not direct current.

 

I am going to figure out the best way to ship and then get some addresses.....

 

I was going to double bag, no air just water per props suggestion, thurmos if trading for something, if not trading then thurmos is extra, bubble wrap, and boxed.

 

Is there a need to ice pack???

 

Any other special requests, questions, comments... just post or PM!!!!

 

Happy reefing

This time of year, I doubt an ice pack is necessary. I'll take a thermos, though - that way I can send the anemone to you nice and easy. There's a good photo of it in my 29g tank thread. :)

Awesome gorgs!! I just got mine today!! Thanks Prowland--you ship like a pro!

 

Not a leak---nothing. They are sweet--big pieces.

thanks again!
