The joys of reefing

[christyf5]

Thought I'd resurrect this old crusty thread. I never threw out this colony, there were a few small spots on it that still had some tissue on it and well why not just leave it in there and see what happens. Sure enough, here we are months later and its coming back slowly but surely

As back up, my piece is doing really well, so if yours doesn't come back quickly mine is available.

This may or may not have anything to do with anything, but poccies and stylos are incredibly picky on flow. I tried a couple poccies a little over a year ago and couldnt make them happy....I thought it was more to do with my tank still being young but....

I can't say I've seen this. I've added poccies to my tank from day one, (well, after rock cycled) and it's done well. My one colony moved around different tanks for years, everytime it got football size, I'd frag it back to golfball size, and repeat.
Even my current piece from Christy is doing great, and I'm getting those damn floater bits (new colonies growing on pumps, etc) all over the place.
I guess if I had to establish a trend, I'd say that my pocciliporas have always been in the strongest flow areas.
Unlike Christy though, mine is not an indicator coral, it is fluffy 24/7.

Tell me your secret then...I was told that by Greg one time when I was picking up some frags. It may just be that he didnt want to sell me a piece of his rainbow stylo Just kidding Greg.
