This thing owns over a quarter of my 210 and isn't slowing down

Wow, where did you get it originally? How do you feel about fragging? It's not as scary as it seems the first time. there are some good books out there on it.

I'm not complaining about the size, so I'm not looking to frag it. I have in the past fragged a couple of branches. This coral has been very stubborn about attaching to substrates so I just stopped bothering.
I got it from Fins and Critters in Shelby NC around the year 2000

Off topic,but I have been trying to relocate to Asheville from Norfolk,Va for a while.How is the "reef" scene around there?I have a nice reef tank that I would bring with me too.I found a webpage for Asheville Marine that had alot of info.Thanks for any input!

Lionfish, I've actually moved about 15 minutes outside of town on the North side, closer to weaverville.

Giantxtc, the reef scene is growing. The local club wasn't doing much and almost folded, then it just kind grew and grew. There are couple of good shops, the biggest, the asheville aquarium is doubling in size this summer. The mt. biking is pretty great good, too

Thanks!

I've biked up there before at Bent Creek.

If you make the move or visit again, let me know. I can head you towards some great rides

giantxtc · #12 05/14/2007, 10:27 PM

Will do!

I think it looks great. Your also lucky that it is on one side of the tank, in the corner. You should rearange your tank to focus on it. Like in a public aquarium.

I have one that is starting to take over as well, although not as large as yours. It started as a 2 inch frag, but now it's up to about 12 inches with 5 main branches. Thats in a 55G.
