classical music helps coral growth?

[plancton]

Hi, I´ve heard before about how supposedly playing classical music next to a reef tank can help improve coral growth and coloration, anyone has tried this?.

Where can I read more about this?. I´v very curious.

I prefer Heavy metal.... makes my corals tougher. I think I even saw my hermits forming a mosh pit one time!:bounce2:

my son is now a rocket scientist genius because I played Mozart for him when he was a baby in the crib

well here's a good idea for a test then. frag 2 pieces from one of your fast growers, let 'em settle a little bit, then keep one in your display as a control, and put another in another tank with identical conditions and classical music playing, and chart growth via photographs over a 2-3 month period.

My corals prefer early 70's Alice Cooper.

I dose my tank with OC pepper spray to toughen them up.

I tried playing music for my corals once, but the water shorted out the speaker and electrocuted all the fish when I turned it on. Maybe I shouldn't have placed the speaker in the water.

my corals reacted really well to shock therapy........

That's why they make waterproof ear buds! So some of your corals can listen to their music without disturbing their neighboring corals.

This wouldn't be a bad idea. I would follow a thread like that.

My problem is, my Montis like Bach, but my Acros prefer Tchaikovski.

The only problem I foresee, with the waterproof earbuds is....

Where are the damned ears on my Stylophora???

Classical music boosts coral growth at least as well as garlic does.

Mozart for the acro, Salieri for the softies.

My coral really like smooth jazz.:lol:

By the long hair algae and all around funk I would guess my tank is fond of the Grateful Dead......or Phish :rolleye1:
