DBTC: Sprung's Burning Bush

[MichaelB]

Yes the foxface will eat it. Basically any animal that eats algae.

Turbo snails crush it as well

My urchin too...

I forget to bring them to the swap. 5 frags are available in south SJ

What kind of urchin is it? I've got a Caribbean black rock urchin (Arbacia sp.) that doesn't touch it at all.

 

[Fish Boss]

Hard to say exactly how much growth I have, since I look at everything on a daily basis, but I would say I have somewhere around 10% growth. Mainly looks more dense with more folds. Ideally I would like to have my frag doubled in size and give out frags equal in size to what I received, but if anyone is itching to get a piece, I do have a smaller frag

I gave a frag to @gmdcdvm 1 day ago.

Mine is growing now. In my experience it seems to do better under a more standard, or blue, spectrum than when it was under a pink/red refugium light.

Anyone else having that, or maybe it was a coincidence things got better after I moved it?

100%.

Red algae tend to like bluer light is what I heard. All of mine grows in my display only

I have the same experience- I switched out the refugium light over the burning bush to a regular spectrum reef light just because it looks nicer, and also saw better growth after doing so

I gave a frag to @DaddyHook today.

Hey @Ctovarg, we'd love to get an update on this one.

 

[fishy408]

A few are available in Milpitas if anyone needs one this weekend.

 

[Srt4eric]

Time for condolences, I lost a frag.

Urchin ate all of it...

How does this happen ? Unless a fish eats it. If you need more. Let me know

Urchin found it and went to town. Until I get some lights for my sump I'm going to hold off

Use your spare kessil or radion in the sump. These burning red bush love blue or full spectrum. I can give you some before my rabbitfish eats them all

My tuxedo doesn’t eat it, just wears it, tearing it up in the process. It seems to be on its way out in my tank as well. Which is unfortunate - while I don’t need to carpet my tank with the stuff, I do still want a piece here or there

Maybe i need an urchin hat to occupy him with

It's too busy eating the fresh bryopsis on the clear areas
