anybody have frags of my table coral?

[Gary Majchrzak]

I'm curious to see/hear about the size of your A. glauca frag and how long you've had it.

[biohazard]

I had one Gary that lasted for quite awile but was crushed in a rock stack fall last summer. I would love to replace the piece,if any are available.

I still have the piece of green encrustating monti from you grows super slow but still kickin!!

Take care,
Ken.

I have a frag, Gary. I'm not sure when or how long I got it ?
It is alive and kicking, but sloooow growing so far. It incrusted the rock where I glued it, so I'm thinking it will take off soon.
I'll try to get a pic. later.

[Gary Majchrzak]

Pics would be great. Ken- I'll try and remember to bring a frag for ya to the Buffalo swap.

gary, i don't remember what you called this when you gave it to me but it is doing really well with fresh growth all the way around the edges and on top around the snail tubes. what was it called??

[Gary Majchrzak]

I think you are referring to the green scrolling Montipora I got from ByTor ?:confused:
Here's a macro of it:

Hi Gary. My frag of the frag you sent me has taken off. I am just waiting for the green to return.

[Gary Majchrzak]

Paul- It'll turn more green under less intense and/or higher kelvin lighting. 6500k will make it take off like a bat outta heck, but it will be colored more tan/pinkish. Here's a pic taken of an area of the table that's getting both 20kk, 6500k and VHO actinic lighting:

Hi Gary. I have had it under 20K 400W lights for about 3 weeks now and it is still battling to adapt to the increased light. The polyps have retracted however I see a slight tint of green returning. It is also growing furiously so my hope is that it will return to the beautiful coral that I received.

[Gary Majchrzak]

I started this thread for several reasons. This particular coral seems to be very tolerant of water conditions- provided it has good water flow and lighting. It's growth in my aquarium had slowed, though. Now it's started another growth spurt- most likely as the result of DSB/ortho-phosphate reduction in my system. It can match {or exceed} the growth rate of a "cap" when it really gets going.

[captain7359]

probally would have helped if i had posted the picture

[Gary Majchrzak]

Nice. Just wait'll you see what that frag grows into!

[Kent E]

Gary I've had a frag for several months now, growth is very slow, it is somewhat shaded now. It still is a stick, while others frags I have are now huge colonies up to 5" across

[Gary Majchrzak]

I suggest moving your table coral frag to a position of maximum light and water flow, Kent. This coral needs to be stabilized in an optimal position for a certain amount of time before it will take off. As far as table corals are concerned, I'd rate it 'very hardy'.

[Kent E]

Thanks Gary for the info, I'm switching tanks soon, so I will make the neccesary appropriations.

Gary,
do you have a frag of it that I could get at the Buffalo meet?
Josh

[Gary Majchrzak]

Yep. Could I possibly get a frag of your {new} table, Josh?:D

[JBrown]

Gary,
you saw that? a frag for a frag deal sounds good to me or would you like to wait till that colors up and we can trade then?

[Gary Majchrzak]

Your call.:)
