Hehe, I wonder if they feed on stray pods also since they are smaller.

We stopped feeding a few weeks ago and the growth rate stay'd steady. All of our lords look mad/starved and deflated but the micros look better than ever.

Man it would be nice to no have to feed every other day, that was my one beef with lords!

I didn't feed my first lord for over a year. It still grew from 5 polyps to at least 30+ polyps in that time. Had I known the growth would have been twice as much, I would have fed them.

Now, sometimes I don't feed them for a couple weeks at a time. I notice they inflate a little better when they are fed more.

My micro feeds on Mysis and Brine and has shown very good growth in the 8 months I've had it.

Let's see some pix Randy =)

just noticed one of our two head pieces has sprung two new heads. It was cut maybe 3 weeks to a month ago, too freaky, man that was fast

Narkon · #**155** 05/04/2005, 06:35 AM

Bugsy, that is some fast growth.

Do these guys work like SPS does as far as generations of frags, where each frag generation from the wild colony seems to do better in the aquarium, and grows faster?

bugsy714 · #**156** 05/04/2005, 06:44 AM

I would have to say yes, once all of the coral was actually grown in your system it has a tendency to get really comfortable. These little buggers are first gen so it'll be interesting to see what they do in a few months.

It seems like if you give them room they wil grow like nuts =)

Great pics, everyone. I hope to contribute here soon, once my lords craving is satisfied.

It's tough starting from scratch.

Peace,

Chip

Is there any other way to start? If so I didn't know about it.
Secret, don't get a girlfriend that isn't a reefer, otherwise you won't have as much money for the reef.

every collection starts with a single piece

Jus Reefin · #**160** 05/05/2005, 02:24 PM

hey Bugsy, that Rasberry and purple Lord I picked up fro you and Jen has 7 new heads already growing on the back side. Talk about growth. It only started with 2 1/2 heads and now has 10 heads total!!!!!!! The green Micro is also sprouting some new heads already

JenDub · #**161** 05/05/2005, 03:35 PM

that is fantastic Rob

I just got a pink ring micro that is wicked. I know it is for sure going to be one of your favs as is mine. I will post pics later and if you have some time, show off your new editions.

Narkon · #**162** 05/05/2005, 03:42 PM

Time, time, that is what I am waiting for.
Just one peice to start it, just need tad bit more time.

JenDub · #**163** 05/05/2005, 03:54 PM

hehe....here is the pink ring I was talking about. I didn't use a fancy camera or touched it up. This is the true color of this piece. Gotta love those pink corals.

Jus Reefin · #**164** 05/05/2005, 04:07 PM

That is sweet Girl!

I am working on getting a couple of wicked colored micros, one is Pink, green and bluish and the other is purple, green and blue. I sure hope I get em

JenDub · #**165** 05/05/2005, 04:16 PM

the pink, green, and bluish one....is that the one with the pink eye? That one reminds me of an easter egg. You will like that one.

I have a pic of that one somewhere.

Jen, the colors on that micro are awesome!

JenDub · #**169** 05/05/2005, 04:56 PM

thanks guys

Here is the easter egg micro. Green, blue, with a pink eye.

AtlanticReef · #**170** 05/05/2005, 04:57 PM

I just got some Polyps of AK47 and M16 Micromusas.

mothra · #**171** 05/05/2005, 05:07 PM

Jen how bout some pics w/o all the blue light, more like your avatar? Sweet micros none the less.

mothra · #**172** 05/05/2005, 05:09 PM

Atlantic, those are cool. Is who is coming up with all these names? lol...

Jus Reefin · #**173** 05/05/2005, 05:17 PM

Ya the Ak 47 and M16 name really makes me laugh. At least most names have something to do with color or growth those names have nothing to do with those corals.

JenDub · #**174** 05/05/2005, 06:22 PM

hehe....I agree with you totally Rob

Mothra it's hard to get that blue out, I just switched bulbs so the blue is intense. I will try to tonight to get some non-blue pics....it has been awhile since I have turned on my pcs.

mothra · #**175** 05/05/2005, 10:11 PM

gangsta gangsta micromussa
