albertareef Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 So do you have them all eating out of the shell now? That is some impressive training/patience I would think. Nice work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexinverts Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 So do you have them all eating out of the shell now? That is some impressive training/patience I would think. Nice work! Well, now they seem to prefer to hitch to the shell and eat off of the sand. Close enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexinverts Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 AHA! Now I know who has been stinging the neighboring corals. Apparently my ReefGen Goniopora stutchburyi is not being a good tank citizen. I didn't know that Gonis had sweeper tentacles like these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertareef Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Beautiful Goni... too bad it is copping some attitude! At least you found your culprit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexinverts Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 Lots of SPS growth, so I have had to move things around. I just switched to the new version of Triton supplements CORE7 Elementz. They are a little cheaper and easier to dissolve. So far so good. Rommel's Watermelon, Rainbows in Spain, Ocean 11 Millie, Pink Lemonade, and Red Planet all growing into each other. Trouble brewing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Creep Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 It sucks that even when you're doing everything right you still have to worry about corals stinging each other. This hobby can be frustrating. Too much growth is probably a good problem to have. Tank looks great! Keep up the good work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertareef Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Indeed, tank is looking fantastic and lots of growth. I have to say, having really nice SPS overgrowing each other is one of the better problems - which I can only hope to aspire to! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexinverts Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 Just got back from more than a week away and discovered that my blue rufus stag had grown into several corals. Pulled it out, and then discovered I had a nice orange digi colony behind it that was almost completely blocked. I need a bigger tank! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youcallmenny Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Looking good! How do you attach your gorgonians? Is that just IC-gel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexinverts Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 Looking good! How do you attach your gorgonians? Is that just IC-gel?It's epoxy. Strip the flesh off the base, and then push it into a wad of epoxy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectra Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 It's epoxy. Strip the flesh off the base, and then push it into a wad of epoxy. Didn't they come with some rubble on them? All my KP stuff had something I could use normal glue on. The ones I got from Gulf Coast were anchored to a plug with a metal rod into the plug and then the gorg itself.

The ones I got from Gulf Coast were anchored to a plug with a metal rod into the plug and then the gorg itself. The KP ones were already mounted. The ones I started from frags are mounted in epoxy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Looking good Andy! I feel your pain. I have lost more corsls to my torches and chalices than anything else. I'm not getting much growth of my sps because I'm not dosing which is fine because I don't have any room!???? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to remove this extremely aggressive Goniopora that was putting out sweeper tentacles and stinging all of the neighboring corals. It was a real looker, so I put up with it until it recently killed my Jason Fox "burning banana" stylo. That was the last straw! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had ones that touch corals with no problems. It is a beauty! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
