A. Yongei stinks!

[Omar H]

Iwould assume this is normal, my A. Yongei stinks (noticed every time I take it out of the water). And since it continues to grow and be just fine. I assume it must be normal, Have you noticed the same thing?

Omar :strooper:

Compare it to your skimmate and then get back with us.

 

[nwrogers]

Yes but some people like the smell...

 

[PL-Reef]

i think thats the norm.

 

[cwegescheide]

Yes this is true.. For instance I was walking through the cologne department at Nordstrom the other day and what do I see??

"A. Yongei for men"

But seriously all corals smell... They all pretty much smell the same to me.

THE SMELL OF SWEET SUCCESS MY FRIEND....A CORAL THAT SMELLS A LITTLE IS A GOOD THING...A CORAL THAT SMELLS LIKE DEATH IS A BAD THING..... IF IT IS GROWING WELL I WOULD NOT WORRY...ALSO THESE CORALS USE SLIME COATS AS PROTECTION...... IF YOU WHERE A FISH WOULD YOU EAT SOMETHING THAT SMELLS LIKE THAT????

That is so true! Now, if I could convince my wife that Pink Birdsnest is such a sexy fragance, maybe I could get her one for her birthday!

Thanks cwegescheide, that was a good one.

And yes, I'm enjoying it. Here's a pic.

What does it taste like? If it tastes better than it smells, then you're on the right track.

 

[Freed]

Anyone ever taste their acros or any corals for that matter?

 

[drake66]

i think it smells like a can of corn sometimes, i threw away this colony once, and the trashcan reaked like rotting corn not very pleseant, so if you're going to throw away acros throw them in the dumpster

 

[marine_freak]

YEAH I TASTE MINE REGULARLY...A LITTLE MILLI IN THE MORNING WITH MY CORNFLAKES, SOME POCILLIPORA FOR LUNCH WITH A HAM SANDWHICH, OH AND A NICE LARGE PORTION OF BALI SLIMER FOR SUPPER WITH MY PASTA..... IF I AM REALLY HUNGRY THAT DAY I WILL THROW IN A LITTLE HYCINTHUS FOR A BEDTIME SNACK TO STAVE OFF THE HUNGER. LOL!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Milleme]

Yall are sort of wierd eatin' your corals but i have no room to talk cause i drank skimmate. A thick salty taste with a little bit of poo flavor! MMMMMM

 

[PL-Reef]

now thats funny!

 

[Charlie Davidson]

Nog = fish poo
Just a thought----Can you change smell by changing to different fish foods?
Omar, they do better in the water how often do you take it out?

 

[Lunchbucket]

[jeffnsa]

that wonderful acro smell.

 

[Leishman]

I grind up my dead colonies and sell them to old people as a miracle cure.

The real site (not mine!!) is here

 

[broe33]

i sniff all my corals!

 

[twon8]

acros don't smell half as bad as xenia

 

[Amphiprion]

If I am not mistaken, that smell is attributed to the release of dimethylsulfoniopropionate from corals, as well as dimethylsulfate.
