propagation

Picked up these 4" square THIN frag plates at Aquashella in Dallas a couple weeks ago and would looked to find more like them. Unfortunately I can't remember the vendor we got them from. Anyone have a lead on them or something similar?

Hello, I have 2 pretty large mushrooms that are growing like crazy, but they have yet to even attempt to split on their own. I have watched a few videos on how to manually cut them and harvest them but I have a few questions. 1. When I cut them off the rock how do I know if I am cutting to...

Trying another in tank propagation of a bleeding apple scoly here in the lab at Koral King. Technique is to shave the underside of the skeleton very close to the flesh without cutting into it and letting the scoly push a baby out the other side. Seen this a few times so figured we’d give it a...

Torch experiment here at Koral King. Cuts performed on 15th of nov, have been healing for 4 days now and is Showing signs of taking the graft successfully. Both fragments have shown good signs of health and healing with no tissue recession or melting. Polyps have been performing feeding...

Grafted scoly experiment here at Koral king, we took a bleeding apple and a warpaint scoly (~2”) and cut them with the diamond saw and grafted them together on the propagation plates. The cuts were performed on the 15th of nov, and have been healing for the past 4 days. One of the grafts shows...

Newbie here my Duncan has been closed up for about a day and today I saw this pimple on it. Is it a new head or an infection? I saw it stretching yesterday in that direction.

Toadstool has been up and down as it naturally does over the few months, but more so recently. Just noticed what looks like a bright green tentacle growing from the base. There is more algae accumulation on the toadstool and polyps are in. Parasite or self propagation?

Just got an email from Coral Magazine with a very intriguing headline. To date, there’s been no real way to propagate scolymia without harvesting and importing. Check this article out! Very...

Cutting some shrooms up and want to know peoples process.

Morning all, Was wondering if it would be alright to keep RBTA's in a basket in my 20 gal for a few months. I have the opportunity to get them nems dirt cheap and would like to pick em up while I can. I would be keeping them in a basket with a magfloat while my nano nem only tank cycles. How...

Good Day! I have been growing this for years but only after moving to a new tank has this started to pop! now I want to propagate this algae to another side of the tank and I was wondering if anyone can help me identify and give me some tips to propagate this algae successfully

My tanks recovering from a bad time. I lost a lot of SPS to receding skin. My colony of red planet is 90% dead. Now that I’ve corrected the issue, the receding has stopped leaving 10% alive. I had something similar to this happen before and the red planet quickly recovered and grew of the dead...

This thread is to chronicle the propagation of Berghia Nudibranch. To begin the Nudibranch do not need an extensive amount of care. They need stable salinity, a steady supply of Aiptasia, and a sheltered area to grow. For this experiment I am using an 800 ml caped container I got from IKEA. I...

Hey guys, here is my second build thread in less than a year o_O, lately have been coming across some cool coral within my community and have ran into the problem of not having enough real estate in my first nano build. So in order to get a fix for my coral addiction, and with some time at home...

Our new reef tank has been flourishing. We have 8 different corals (about a 50/50 split of softies and LPS), and keeping them happy has been remarkably painless. We dont have any aspirations of starting a massively profitable coral farm, but we've got some extra space to set up some cost...

Is thinking about trimming my sunny delight zoanthids. I know how to frag zoas but not how to remove them from the rock. Thank You

Hey Reefers- Just some quick background information: I am a recent Biology graduate currently in the process of applying to the clinical laboratory scientist program. I have only been a reefer for 3 years , but have been passionate about it since day 1. Though I love having a show tank, I...

Hey Reefers- I am venturing into propagation and will be setting up a simple hydroponic-style frag tank. The dimensions of the tray will be 24" x 48" x 7". (roughly 30 gal of water) I am set on using solely T5's at the moment, but may decide on a T5/LED hybrid set up in the future. I also...
