Flower Garden

As I watch my acros grow, I added a frag tank to my system for my freshly cut frags, and decided to do a rock flower garden. I already have a large 6" flower that has thrived for over a year in my tank without any direct feelings so knew how easy they were. That and it hasn't moved unlike some of the other nems out there which could be an issue in a tank dominated with sps.

Built a box for the garden and added black substrate. The only sand in my system, I cringed just adding this small amount lol.

Observed one of the flowers contorting itself for a few hours yesterday only to later display a baby underneath. Now my research already told me they spawn, not split, and the size of the baby tells me I must of purchased with the baby joined at the hip to the mother. Cool none the less, thought I'd share.

nice rock flowers, did you order online?

you mentioned that they spawn and do not split
wonder if you could still propagate them?
 
Getting them local, and that last one mentioned I picked up for about $38.

Here is my latest score.
