"In the Left Corner, we have Todd's Purple M. Cap weighing in at about 6 months old! IN THE RIGHT CORN-ER, we have Todd's Purple and Green Acro, also coming to us 6 months ago."
The Territory has been claimed, round one was noticed today when I got home from work... these gooey white filaments stretching from the Cap to the Acro... white spots all over where the "Stuff" was... What I wouldn't give for a Digicam right now. To make matter's worse, the two frags are on the same rock (and it's not a very big rock, either).
I knew this day would come (well, you plant that many frags that close together... Reap what you sew, butt-head), and told myself I wouldn't worry about it... just let them grow naturally. The Branching Acro's I've been fragging when they get close, but the Cap's plating at this edge, and it's right at the base of the Acro. I'd have to break the whole piece off the rock. I have other pieces of this particular coral in other places in the tank (and I'm sure I can always weasel another frag from Todd ;-), but I'm wondering if I should go through a lot of effort to do anything here, or just let nature take it's course? It seems to me as though the Cap's being the aggressor, which is the coral I care most about of the two. I plan on doing a water change tomorrow or the next day, and am tossing a bag of carbon in there tonight.
If anyone knows of someone wanting to sell their digicam lemme know (people you trust to take good care of digicam.. not interested in eBay). The Tax man's got something coming for us, and I could prolly talk the wifey into a used 3 MP if the price was right.
