TREE CORAL/CAPNELLA SP

[sharkdude]

congrats!
They are very hardy and easily propagated. I have some third generation (cutting of a cutting of a cutting)frags ready to be trimmed again!

I've found the gravel bowl method to work very well but rubberband method also works.

variable flows and lighting will produce differnt morphs of cuttings from same parent.

no need to feed directly. the food you are feeding probably is feeding sand bed and it is their larvae that are feeding corals.

watch it for slime coat buildup, they like moderate current.

check out mary's coral species database at www.reefsource.com for more info

I have one too... Sharky hit it on the head. They are pretty easy to grow and prop. I cut mine not too long ago and it was opening up within hours. Mine is mid tank and I feed about the same stuff you do but not it directly...

Hi Everyone! This is a coral I got over 2 months ago and it seems to be doing quite well. I feed it brine shrimp mush and DT's once a week and it is under medium lighting and water current. Thanks Johnny

I have the red/tan variety. Great grower! Lower currents will cause long gracefull branches (like yours is showing). Higher currents will cause stocky bush like growth. I have both morphs growing on one rock, one is just "blown" around a bit more because of location.

Mine has self fragmented all over the tank. It will soon be turning into a weed so watch out and grab the frags as the show up. I've never fed it and it grows great (only a DSB, no refugium)
