Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I wish I could bring some corals to the swap, I've broken off so many branches in my dips that I'm running out of frag space in my tank! Maybe I'll just have a frag tank full of Bayer and sell them directly out of that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha D. Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I can bring three pretty sad frags of Tyree Setosa with GHA growing on them. I'll stand next to Ty so people think they're designer corals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGon Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Probably a dumb question, buuuuut do I have to have frags to swap in order to attend or can I just show up as a buyer??? I've never been to one of these frag swap events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 The sacrifices one makes when he doesn't have a frag tank. I'm doing it for you C4! Well... for that and my coral slush fund account.

Sascha D. Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 How did you even cut that big chunk out of the middle? Now your Sunset looks like a scene from a zombie movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 I'm a big fan of extracting the original colony once it has encrusted and grown out on the rocks. It works well with zoas too. Place your frag, let it encrust and grow over the rock... then remove the original frag and let the encrusted coral grow back over the removed original frag. In this case, it was a giant original frag so... a giant hole was left in the middle to grow back over. I've found that it'll grow over it pretty quickly in these cases since the colony is generally happy and encrusted already, and growing back over the hole on all sides. Then, you have an instant mini colony to be able to cut up and sell off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha D. Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I often do that as well, but the hole was so big that I thought you had worked some kind of magic. Tymagic....boom new screen name! You're welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sascha D. Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 There's only one way to find out. Try saying the following phrase near your aquarium. "Accio ORA Pearlberry Colony!" Waving something may help but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bpb Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Happy to see that monti fragging method in practice. I do that as well. Unfortunately, once encrusting montipora get going they're like the juggernaut and become unstoppable forces. I can hack away massive pieces of rainbow montipora and it grows back in the blink of an eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
