Thought you might like this picture of one of my stream rocks. Feel free to use it if you want.

Wow! Thanks Scott! How long did that take?

 

[gooch]

About 14 months.

I should add that it took about six months to completely encrust with coraline. The red and blue zoanthids started from about 10 polyps about a year ago. The orange centered ones were added less than six months ago. So was the ricordia(originally one polyp). There is also pocilapora some blue stripe mushrooms and a mycedium on the rock. The coraline has multiple layers and is starting to plate.

How did you get the Ricordia to propagate? I can't get more than one a year!

 

[gooch]

It was pretty large when I got it. It also had multiple mouths. So I did nothing special. Just got a nice one to start with.

This looks awesome! can you give us more angles on it? the output maybe?

Roger, start cutting the ricordea. just take a razor blade to the mouth and you'll have more in no time at all. Talk to you soon..
