Branching GSP

[Raptor72]

I found an aquarium warehouse in San Diego and bought a few frags of a branching gsp (Briareum asbestinum, I believe). I'll be bringing it home tomorrow and hoping to grow it out and fragging it. This stuff is nice since it won't take over a rock and instead branches out. Here are a couple of shots of the mother coral.

Everything I brought back seems to have survived the trip. I'll be getting my dosing back online and watch these frags thrive hopefully.

7 months since the last update, heres what the frag looks like.

The branches are about 5 to 6" long now amd there are about 10 of them.

First time I've seen one of those. Are they as easy to grow as regular gsp or are they kind of like an sps?

 

[Raptor72]

It pretty much has the same growth rate as matting GSP. Here's another shot.

That things pretty awesome. I might need to get me one of those haha

I didn't know such a thing existed. A while back, we got GSP to grow on some coral sticks but once it got to the top, it started growing into fleshy shelf structures. Weird - didn't last long that way.
