Jason, I hand feed them either carnivore marine pellets depending on mouth size, silversides cut up, mysis, squid etc. 1 -2 times a week with pumps off. Pain in the butt...but that is the only way to get really good growth pretty fast. Cyclopeeze daily. Under 400w MH 10hrs a day with actinics also. new frags, especially the quartered pieces stay well off to the edge, minimal flow and less light. They are agitated daily and any slime, or brown gunk is removed with pipette. Once they are completely round and healed they move to a new container and are left to attach to rubble. From there they go to a larger sand based container under main light and are ready to go to new homes. I frag them off colonies when they start to grow over each other or off the edges of the rock and out of the light. The colonies are kept in the main display tanks, either seahorse 55 under 2 150 MH or the 125 main reef under 2- 250 12k MH and actinics. Does that answer questions? Holler if you have any more. They are my favorite coral, I have spent the past few years collecting colonies. The frag system is about 200 gals under metal halides, that includes sump with macros etc. Beth |
