my "Birdsnest" coral frag

[Gary Majchrzak]

Sorry- I can't remember who I got my Seriatopora from.
I know it's somebody in the URS. It's the only Birdsnest coral I have.
It was a thin branched tan frag when I got it (maybe last year at the Helinski meet). Who's coral is this?

pic Gary?

I wanted to avoid posting a pic because the original owner of the coral won't recognize it...

I got a fine branched brown one from flanders.

Flanders is a possibility. Fritz was over here last year....

 

[gary greguire]

that was the day I saw your tank it was Fritz Nate, and myself. I know fritz brought something for you but can't rember what.

I want to see a pic too, I'm curious how much a birdsnest can grow in 9 months or so.

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

You won't be able to tell, Brian.
I didn't take a picture of the coral when I first got it.
Besides- it grew differently than you might expect. (The branches grew thicker because my water flow is much more turbulent.)

 

[moriartiholmes]

OK, I figured it was a 'typical' size frag to begin with.

Gary,

I believe you got that frag from me thru Nate. I snap pics of my tank almost everyweek and this is the last pic i found of it.

I am under the impression that you are unhappy with the frag, I was unaware of that. I remember I had PM you a few days after, you should of have let me know. I can replace it with another frag when your settled in and setup. It will be unmounted, fresh cut.

For those whose interested in how fast these grow, this pic is the frag i got from the zoo meet back then and pic of it now.

I be interested to see what it looks like now.

I'm happy with this coral and I'm even happier that I now know where it came from! Not only is it turning pink, but the branches on mine are growing much thicker. It spent the first several months growing thicker branches before it started growing out and up. (As you know, the original frag was very tan, frail and skinny.)

 

[solRNY]

Wow, I see what you mean, the growth are so different! I think I will direct more current towards my colony

lew, i got the frag from someone at the zoo meet, forgot whom.

It is definately much heftier than the typical birdsnest type coral. Good looking Gary.
