MrScuito Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I bought this off of Danik and have no idea what it is. I asked him at the time but dont remember what he said. Also PM'ed him but I think he may have gotten busy. And please no responses of "it a coral" because I already heard that one LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonH Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Hard to tell from the picture - maybe an encrusting hydnophora? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylaster Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I agree with Jason, looks like hydnophora to me also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgf86123 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 be careful that nothing in your tank gets close to it, those things are bad mambajambas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylaster Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 yep thats it thanks' date=' Now can I frag it, if so how would I?[/quote'] pair of bone shears, or clippers works well Also you can use flat head screwdriver and hammer and break it apart that way too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrScuito Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 I had a very small piece break off and get away from me it landed on a kenya and burn all the way thru, no great loss kenyas are expendable. The hydnophora is so bright and it glows like toxic waste at night. If anybody knows how to frag this let me know, and if you want a piece when I can frag it also let me know I would like to trade some for zoa's at some point.

dsoz Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I have used a hack-saw, a diamond wheel on a dremel, a pair of sheet metal cutters, a hammer and chisel... All you have to do is cut a large enough piece (a dime size piece is plenty big). If the piece is large enough to sustain itself with photosynthesis, it will live and grow. Hydno has the reputation of having wicked long stinger tentacles. I have seen pictures of stinger tentacles coming out of hydno up to 9 inches. Some people have had "nice" hydnos that let something grow right up to almost touching it and then sending out the stinging tentacles to completely wipe the other coral completely off the map. I keep a small piece of hydno in my tank so I can put it near other corals that I want to control their growth. It does a wonderful job at wiping out xenia, GSP, kenya tree, etc. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
