an offering for DBTC contributors only-Calfo pulsing sinularia frag

[patchin]

Made two frags of this this evening. Hopefully they will do well and be available at the DEC meeting. Tried to do a DBTC-X poll but I guess they only work at the top of a post? The frags are small. Pass two on please.

Patchin,

I'd like to try this too if no one else wants it. Otherwise, I can wait for the next round.

 

[bookfish]

I need to trim my colonies again. 2 lg.frags each of Calfo tan and bookfish red pulsing sinularia. 1 frag per person so 4 people can get frags. Fresh cuts only and still the original guidelines at the top of this thread apply. Pickup at Albany Aquarium anytime we're open.

 

[Dyngoe]

I'm down for the red. The communist in me is looking for more red in my tank.

 

[Lyn]

Oooo, I'd like a red piece too! Is it different than the Calfo Sinularia?

 

[tapmorf]

bookfish,
I would like to try the red, although it sounds like they are taken. Can I try the tan one then ?

 

[under_water_ninja]

I'll go for a tan one as well. Would like red since my tank is lacking in the red department but the tan will be loved just as well! Thanks!!!

 

[bookfish]

The "red" is not "red" per se. More of a reddish brown in comparison to the calfo tan morph.Interestingly though, if kept under intense lighting, the rind goes yellowish. If anyone is looking for a real red coral this isn't it.

 

[bluenassarius]

will this mix well with LPS corals?

 

[Lyn]

I'd still like to give it a try. When you say "high" lights, just how much is it? What is it's range?

 

[bookfish]

I keep it pretty much directly under a 175w 20k mh but when it was under the 250w 20k bulb it color shifted to the more yellowish rind. This also happened in another tank I sent it to.

 

[Lyn]

So, would you say it is a high/high light coral? Would it do well in less intense light?

What kind of flow?

 

[bookfish]

It should do fine in medium lighting and flow. Probably would pulse more noticeably.

 

[Lyn]

OK, great! I wanted to put it in a med. light tank with other softies and polyps. I really need to expand the variety in this upcoming tank. Aside from polyps, I have only a couple Sarcophytons and mushrooms going in. Oh, and a couple hitch hiker Kenya tree corals. I need to give the vast majority back to you.

Thanks Bookfish, how should I get it from you?

 

[bookfish]

Just PM me, let me know what day you want to pick up at Albany aquarium and let me know which morph you'd like.

 

[Lyn]

Will do. I'd like to try the reddish/brown one please. Thanks again.

 

[patchin]

Did anyone still want a tan Calfo?

 

[Elite]

If nobody take it, I will Steve.. Just found a small space on my frag rack ;D

 

[patchin]

One looks good. 1 has no polyp extension, yet. But mine sat there like that for months before I moved it and it started to grow. So, Phong and Sherri get frags at the meeting.

 

[bookfish]

Steve, did you need either morph or do you already have both?
