Tale of three leathers and a gsp, one year now.

[Allentown]

The pics speak for themselves. These corals were originally in a poorly kept tank with crappy lighting and survived a busted tank blow out ...I dint think you can kill these things.

Is the first one xenia? Is the last one devil's finger/hand? I have lemnalia and a devil's finger that I really like but I've heard they grow like crazy. How are yours growing? Are they invasive? I have heard they are very hardy. Did the GSP take over your tank?

 

[Allentown]

The first on is a type of leather somtimes referred to as a "Christmas tree" leather. The last one is a finger leather /devils hand. It's growth is slow but steady. The gsp hasn't started taking over the tank but I expect it will start to try eventually.

I heard that GSP grows crazy. I like how it looks but just don't want something so invasive.

The first one is a Kenya tree

funny cause thats what I was thinking was a Kenya tree and I don't know why I put xenia. The one I get confused is Kenya tree and Lemnalia

 

[wireefman]

to me it goes Kenya tree, devils hand, gsp, finger leather...

 

[deadlycombo82]

sounds right

Yeap. What's the little leather that's attached to the side of the Kenya tree? It has little green polyps that come out when it's happy but the Kenya tree is always ****ing it off. They are permanently attached to the rock at this pointvand the rock is about too small to try and split.

You could just frag a big piece off with scissors and tie it down to a rock elsewhere.

The piece under the Kenya tree is the devils hand
