I was psyched to see how quickly this coral is growing. I got it on April 15th, and it looked like this:

Now, it looks like this:

It has around 4 new heads growing!

That's purty fast.

What have you been feeding it and how often?

smcnally · #4 05/31/2005, 09:47 PM

To be honest, I've kind of slacked on the feeding. I've been feeding it about twice a week, and when I do, I feed it mysis and/or Liquid Life's Marine plankton. I do also feed the tank Phyto Feast pretty regularly. Don't know if that helps...

FishFreak20 · #5 05/31/2005, 10:01 PM

So how many head you have?

Blastomussaman · #6 05/31/2005, 11:25 PM

Twice a week is a lot more than what I feed mine. Phyto does little to nothing for LPS, but good for your pods.

What you're doing is working so keep it up and show more pics along the way.

Once mine comes tomorrow I will feed them about once a day or every other day.

do u mind if i ask how much you paid for the coral i think i saw it on salt water fish .com for 2grand?

xdusty6920 · #18 10/16/2005, 02:41 PM

dadonoflow- i think your mistaken. that is a pretty common indo lord morph that usually gets about $5-$15 per polyp. nice growth though smcnally. keep on updating us

dadonoflaw · #19 10/16/2005, 02:47 PM

Acanthastrea Lordhowensis 70+ Polyps $1,995.00
the polyp count must be why it costs so much but the link is http://www.saltwaterfish.com/site_11...ory=4&x=5&y=14 exactly

Stixbaraca · #20 10/16/2005, 07:00 PM

it sure isn't the color!

I actually paid $80 for 1 polyp. I bought it when the prices were insane like an idiot. Like you said though, now you can get them for $5-$15.
