My trumpet with its feeders extended.

Give him some mysis!

I just got a good size frag off of this. They called it a superman war coral

Give him some mysis!

I should but it is never trying to eat when I am feeding mysis.

That war coral is pretty cool, I want one.

 

[Stlrockguy]

I've been wanting one for a while. Then this came up for group members. They cut 10 frags out of the mother colony

They are just names given based on colors and shape basically. They give something a name and drive the price up. In reality they are just acans, zoas, montis, etc...

Thanks. Yes it is! That was one of my first corals. Got it as a single head frag and ive fragged it once. I was told once there were 2 types. 'Branching' and 'bushing. But as i found out by Mr. X on this forum its just how much flow and what not decides how it grows. Mine is deffinately a bush. Lol. Alot of heades on that guy!

Just wondering how you fragged it as mine is getting quite large and bushy lol.

I just clipped a head off at the base of one that has a decent 'stem'. I used my small bone cutters. Also disurb coral a bit to make it close up a little when you cut that way you dont snip any tissue.
