True Undata branching

snipersps · #1 11/29/2007, 10:40 PM

Can someone tell me why my wild true undata is growing with branches that are similar to the sesota

wut do you guys think?!?!?

Maybe your flow is stimulating it to do that....very cool looking

Or could it be lack of flow? Just taking a wild guess.

Hugo with lack of flow are you kidding me.

I think it is a different morph because your cultured undata colony right next to it is not branching. I can see where you cut my frag from, heheheh.

How much flow do you have going over/around/past it?

twon8 · #9 11/30/2007, 10:36 AM

i'd say it's flow related, since this is wild, it may not be an undata, and what is this sesota you speak of ;-)

Hey Hugo,

Mine is doing the same thing. I did a little research and found this. Apparently is does branch or nodule in the wild, similar to M. Confusa. I never realized that, and had never seen it happen until recently.

It may be also coral specific. How many purple rimmed caps out there do not noduleate, but the original leng sy if hit with ample flow.

Hey Hugo, my Tyree Undata that I got from Eric did the same thing after it got to a certain size.

Reef Hobbyist magazine summer issue has a cover shot of the true undata noduleate. In his article he even starts off with talking about the different growth forms it has or will take. One sentence which he states "thick columns and branches." And just from my past experiences corals from montiporas to even favias the nodules or lack of always seem to be related to flow.

Yea some of those pix belong to Waynel333

^^^^^^^

That does look very sharp. It must be so happy it can't stay flat.

Mchava · #17 11/30/2007, 06:54 PM

yeah I think it might be flow related. Mine is also doing the same thing not as much as yours but similar.

not positive but im pretty sure that was waynel33's tank, which by the way is probably one of the most impressive tanks ive ever seen in my life.

rharr21 · #19 11/30/2007, 08:23 PM

My LFS recently had a wild colony and it had a thick column in the middle about an inch in diameter and three inches high with nodules coming off of it like yours. It is possible that this undata encrusted over something else, but it really looked like its own growth.

how strange since i got this colony wild it all ready came with small branchess and later in the time the branches grew more and more

surfnvb7 · #22 11/30/2007, 09:22 PM

very cool!

wish my undata did that

fastfish · #23 12/01/2007, 06:19 AM

Very sweet growth! I hope my undata will grow in the same way.
