[superkat]

lmao. oh poor Jeff and his ugly fish.....see...Timmy lives in the studio tank, which is in the basement, and he pretends to be a rock when I go in there.......so....

 

[jfl14609]

hmm well back to the urs red planet how many people got it from henry? (Sorry kat dont want to hijack op)

 

[superkat]

no problem. question regarding growth...what is the average growth rate on the Red Planet, it looks like it grows pretty fast.

 

[jfl14609]

my original colony was a small frag about 1 inch that I got and it grew to 6 inches in about 6 mos

Kat, mine started off as a 2" branch. I glued it down to the rock horizontally. At first, it grew by encrusting on the rock. After that, it sent up the spires you see in the image.

Like all of them, the bigger it gets, the faster it grows.

Mine is a nice deep maroon and maroon polyps, with hints of green in the tissue.

i'm going to start loaning Timmy Filefish out to you guys.

Species?

I love obscure, ugly fish. I don't plan on ever getting an aiptasia infection though, but any fish that looks like a rock is cool in my book.

 

[jfl14609]

well if mine doesnt start doing its job he is all yours haha

hmm well back to the urs red planet how many people got it from henry? (Sorry kat dont want to hijack op)

I wonder where Henry got his?

Nico- did you get yours from Henry by chance?

 

[jfl14609]

gary if mind serves me correct he got it from you and you got it from gary g right

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

Henry got this coral from me and I originally got the coral from MO

I actually got my frag from Gary Greguire who got it from Gary M who bought it from MO.
Here's what mine looked like when I first got it. The second pic is a top down of the colony before I lost it due to a heater malfunction.

The third pic is a top down of a frag that I sol to Nirvana Fan.

 

[NirvanaFan]

I'm sad to say it Henry, but that frag died from a heater malfunction (where I lost half my corals including a lot of SPS) back in December. I'm still bummed about it. It was growing fast for me too.


and if everyone has a small frag at a reasonable price, don't hesitate to pm me

 

[Henry Colf]

Sorry to hear that I have some growing on some frag plugs. as soon as one is ready i'll hook you up with another one.

 

[superkat]

okay, Henry...i'm salivating over here...i'll trade you a painting and a six pack for a couple of frags.

I got mine from someone here in the North Buffalo area. I will ask him where he got his.

In his tank , it's table-ing nicely and cut me some really good size chunks as you can tell.
I mounted them under an angle, with the idea that they will take off faster.

So far, every coral I mounted under an angle or sideways seems to encrust and grow faster.
