3d Jason Fox Jack-o-Lantern experiment

[frankyrivera]

Speaking from experience, it seems to grow faster in lower light then in higher light. It also takes a bit for it to "catch" before it starts growing

Yup I put it under my giant cap so it's shaded

You ain't kidding lol

I didn't think about this til it was too late, but back when you were thinking about what to use to put this piece on... a nice round dead gonipora skeleton would have worked well.

 

[EvilMel]

Oh man, I got all excited. This is right up my alley...then I saw the part about it still being teeny.

Sad day.

I know in fact I was so ashamed of my lousy growth I didn't want to post a pic until something actually changes lol. It's cool though I am optimistic things will turn for the better lol. Nothing good in this hobby happens fast especially in my tank

 

[Pallobi]

do these types of corals grow slow? i mean i know the smaller the piece of any coral you start with, the longer it takes to get going, but are these kinds even more so a slow grower? jus curious as ive never kept this kind.

 

[frankyrivera]

Not really sure this is my first. Maybe some one else can chime in with their experience growing these. Oh and trump all I can say is "You Bastard" lmao

hmmm, perhaps... Time to do some research and use the search engines, see what i can find out

I got a 3/8" piece at ffm last year and it grew to about a 2" circle. I glued it down and never moved it. I cut eleven 1/2" frags for ffm this year and kept a good chunk for myself. Another guy got a bigger piece the same day as me and he moved his a few times and it did not grow as much as mine did.

One thing I've learned about corals, is to put it in place, AND LEAVE IT ALONE, lol.

That is the plan

 

[BfishLpond78]

Franky,

My piece is still on a frag rack...probably 7 inches from the waters surface...under 8 T5's in medium/low flow...started out as a little chip but in like 3 months time its almost full covered a 3/4 inch plug. Its all settled in and with the increased size it will start growing more and more...as expected. Give it time to settle in.

 

[frankyrivera]

Wow that's sounds like a lot of light
