Donor:.. Lobophyilia

[rbb213]

Each will be small, but will grow under VHO or MH lights.

Each is free to a member of the club providing that.....

They are at the next meeting to receive a colony

I dose Calcium, Stronium, and Iodine, this leather fairs quite well under Metal halides and VHOS. They like a little flow of water but from time to time IT WILL SHRINK. Don't panic, they will release a slime, which is very normal, In a matter of days, they will inflate again. It grows quite well, and pretty fast IME. I challenge you to keep this frag going and going.

My Water Para:
Sal 1.025
Nitrate 0
Nitr 2
PH 7.9-8.2 Constant
Amm Undet
Cal 420
Alk 3
Temp constant 80-82

They promise that once they are twice the size they are now, they will donate a colony the approximate size of the original donor colony.

If you wish to be a sponsor....reply to this list. The first 3 will get a colony. The next people on the list will receive frags from the sponsors when the colony has doubled.

pls Reply if you would like to be a Sponsor of this Leather.

Sorry Paul, It was already written too well, I just had to copy it..

I would like to sponsor a frag. If you don't have enough for this meeting, please put me on the list for the "half" time show. I won't be putting this one in the seahorse tank, but in our regular reef tank. The leather I received at the last meeting is doing wonderfully, even has some little yellow tips that look like new growth.

 

[pwhitby]

Thanks for the frag rocky, looks good so far!..

[Bungle]

Tom

 

[luvabunny]

Thank you Rocky. It's an awesome looking leather!
I love it already. Can't wait til it grows up some!

Hey Rocky,
Thanks again for the leather frag.

It looks great and now I have a question.

Looking at the leather, I see little polyps all over. The ones that are open are evenly spaced from each other, but what about the one in between? Do eventually all the polyps open, or just a few as it is now?

 

[rbb213]

As they get used to your tank, they all will open.

What kind of lighting do you have?

I keep the mother off to the side in a somewhat shaded area, with medium flow next to it.

[jeffb]

As they get used to your tank, they all will open.

That's what I was hoping for.

What kind of lighting do you have?

190 watts VHO

I keep the mother off to the side in a somewhat shaded area, with medium flow next to it.

Rocky

The frag is in the front of the tank. It is not shaded but it looks okay.

 

[rbb213]

How's everyone frag doing?

 

[pwhitby]

I am looking at mine, polyps are extended, looks good.

Its under VHO (440w) with medium water flow.

Paul.

 

[rbb213]

If you can post piotures please do...

I want to know how every one's frag is doing.

 

[Bungle]

I will post a pic this weekend, but overall it is doing well. Polyps are extended and it is attached to a rock so far. I am using PC lighting.

 

[Bungle]

I dont have a macro feature on my camera, but the frag is attached and growing off the rock

 

[rbb213]

Looking good Adam...
