OT: Generators, what all do you have?

Brooke,

Sorry to hear that you were away during all of this. I imagine you must feel a certain anxiety not being here to do something. That said, I am happy to hear that h20sidhe was able to help...

Thank you all so much for your input on this. It's seeming more like a scolymia. It will be interesting to see how the second polyp develops. I'll keep you all informed when it is fully developed and...

Thanks coralite! This is great! Do you have any information on the base buildup that you can refer me to? I'd really like to know more! When the smaller polyp's base is built up can I frag it, or...

MrMikeB,

I understand your quandary. To support a cause that desires saving these species, but wondering if the cause makes sense.

More Pics

Here are some more pics from different angles. I did move it around a bit to try to get the polyps to retract a bit, but didn't want to upset it too much. Now that I see the white behind the smaller...

Hi Justin,

I just got back from the Bay Area tonight, so no new pics to post yet. It only has 2 polyps. The one large one, and then a smaller one that has continued to grow, and now has a white...

Coralite, I'm not actually at home at the moment, so the pic will have to wait. That said, I think it does have a conical shaped base. It appears to me when the polyp is retracted that it goes quite...

Yep, some people are making the suggestion that it is a scolymia in my other post in the LPS forum. It's a tough call, and I guess without actually killing it to look at the coralite skeleton I may...

What! the floors aren't heated? :) We have to wait until things warm up to see that 2,000g megaplex? :)

Forgive my ignorance, but why do you need epoxy on the floor? Is it so that the concrete...

Acan or Micromussa...Can you tell?

Hi All,

I purchased this from an LFS a couple months ago. They told me it was a Micromussa, but the main polyp is so large across now (almost 3") I can't imagine it being a Micromussa. I put a...
