Success with a Pearlberry?
Has anyone had success with this coral? I tried it once before, but it didn't get much past the frag stage. A little bit of encrusting but that was it, and the never did get the Pearlberry colors. Eventually it just expired Perhaps the frag was too small at 3/4"?
I talked to another reef keeper recently who is having a similar experience, his frag came from the same source. Curious, I didn't think they were considered hard to keep. I love the look of this coral, and I'd like to try again... but I'd like to know that it will stay alive. |

Marie has had great success to my knowledge. I've gotten a frag from her about 3 times now and have been unsuccessful every single time. I'm kind of embarassed to ask her for another one

LOL, well here's hoping
I have no idea, started them low to acclimate for lighting then moved them to where I wanted them. They just did nothing in the tank, kind of dormant like Brett said, and then just slowly died off. I had nothing nearby and no other problems with any other SPS in the tank. I even left the last one on its own frag rack and it still died.

yeah its the weirdest thing. Although I've had a couple other frags do that to me. Currently a frag I got from Chaloupa (original from snappy) is just starting to show color and a small branch after almost a year in my tank. Its high up and has always looked ok (ie polyps extended) but a blah color. The branch is just a gorgeous blue with green. Not sure what prompted the sudden growth. Same goes for a humilis frag I've had for well over a year (although those are reportedly slow growers).
