hammondegge Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 does anyone have a nice strain thats ready for fraggin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discuspro Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Are you talking about A. yongei? I've got some looking pretty good and growing very well! Check my link in my signature below, price can vary for good friends (in a good way). I don't have actinics on my system yet so I'm sure the color will get more crazy with more lighting. My tank will be at St. Edwards U for just a few more days and then I'm moving it to another place in Austin, a little more north. Just wanted to put that in because I thought I remembered you live close to St. Ed's and it would be easier for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammondegge Posted May 6, 2006 Author Share Posted May 6, 2006 thanks dustin, i'll check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammondegge Posted May 6, 2006 Author Share Posted May 6, 2006 hey dustin, are you sure that's an acro, looks like a digitata. perhaps it is just blurry. do the coralites stand out from the coral? this is the one that TexasTodd has in SA the coralites look different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedude Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Robert I know a bunch of people that have it, including myself. Mine isn't ready but I can definitely hook you up with someone who is. Discus - That's a really cool coral but not the green slimer. The slimer (a formosa I believe) has electric green polyps and corallites.

discuspro Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 That is actually an pic I took in January. The main branch had fallen on it's side and kinda did a melt on rock growth mode. I feel kinda bad that you think I would steer you to buy a M. digitata instead of an A. yongei. I have no doubt that it is Acropora. Although, I've got some digitata. Here's a pic of tip growth, although blurry, I will take some more pics in a few days: Like I said I don't have actinics. The pic I have on frags is older and the tissue is not as green as it is now.

discuspro Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 By the way, that pic hammondegge posted a message or two ago corresponds to a A. yongei: http://www.frags.org/memberfragdetails.php?fid=3733 Or the person who posted the pic has their names wrong, if your saying formosa. Here's another on frags.org that is called "green slimer": http://www.frags.org/memberfragdetails.php?fid=4829 My piece is just like this one, when I look at both. When I bought it originally it was browned out, it has been getting greener and greener. Another on someone's website that they are calling 'green slimer", and it looks like the one I have: http://blog.captivereefing.com/2005/03/page/2/ Niether are a spitting image of each other but they have been called "green slimer," either correctly or incorrectly, and they are most likely growing in different conditions. I'm just going to go ahead and say it but I feel a bit dismissed, just trying to offer what I believe to be green slimer. disgust.gif Shoot I'll give frags of this guy away for free to Robert, even if it is greenslimer or not, but heck do I not know what I'm doing?

hammondegge Posted May 7, 2006 Author Share Posted May 7, 2006 sorry dustin. it is i who does not know so much about the coral id. thats why i asked you if it looked different than the pic. there is know way that i would distrust you. sorry for the misunderstanding. i would love to buy a frag of that if it is ready. lmk and i will come by before the tank moves. it does look like a slimer in the more recent photo. robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discuspro Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Robert it is not you who made me feel upset, seriously. I looked at the picture much more skeptically after the post you asked me about it. It does look a bit like digitata, that was when my tank was not growing things so well and it was growing maybe a 1/16" per month. Monday I will be at the school all day, and seriously I will give you a frag for free, no questions asked I'll keep my word. I sold Jonathan Mast a piece for $5 yesterday and I really should have gave him a piece for free but I gave him a bunch of other free frags. Sunday, tomorrow, I will also be available a little bit if that is better. I just had finals week this week, it's my senior semester, and I've been going crazy so I'm very sorry if I'm being extra sensitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcreonx Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 FWIW, A. Yongei and A. Formosa are both considerd 'slimers', just as they are considered 'Staghorns' too. DiscusPro, your first photo looks like the ORA Bali Slimer, of which I had a small frag that turned into a monster. You can see a piece of it on the left (a photo from my SPS sale): <img src="http://goodmorningheartache.com/tanksale/acros2.jpg"> Also, M Digitatas don't have an axial coralite on the growth-tip, like Acroporas do. The tips are bare and generally rounded: <img src="http://goodmorningheartache.com/tanksale/orangedigi.jpg"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcreonx Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Yeah, for some reason the html works for you. oh well. that was actually my holding tank when I was selling off a bunch of my corals before I moved here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishypets Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Got any pics of the efflo Dustin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discuspro Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Yeah, it's my soli/efflo on my frags.org link. At the moment it is still small but plating, that is why I'm calling it a soli/efflo for the time being because I'm not sure which it is. When I bought it I bought it under the name of LE Acropora efflorescens. Who knows if it is really that or not but all I know is that it is one of my favorites! Here's a quick pic, you may have seen this photo in MAAST.org: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
