FarmerTy Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 If they were really smart, they'd stop checking Ofu Island and start checking our tanks at home. http://www.livescience.com/19160-heat-resistant-coral-climate-change.html How many heater malfunctions, overdosing events, power outings, overfeedings, and forgetting to turn the lights off have we subjected our corals to and still some always make it. Who's got the strongest corals? Try your local reef club. -Ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannerfish Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 No kidding! They seem alot hardier than people make them out to be. Only corals that have died on me were some softies when our air conditioner broke for 3 days last summer, tank temps were at least 100°. Even then one of my kenya trees lived and I still have it lol.

fjr_wertheimber Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Heck, that's nothing... I've seen pics of coral reefs where the top 2-3 feet are left high and dry in the hot tropical sun for HOURS during low tide yet are still thriving... Now THAT's some hardy coral!! I need some of those for my tank! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
