Og bounce is undergoing a natural split. Started with a tear. Notice a point rubble edge. Probably used to gear itself apart and happened yesterday. Today, tear on the mouth opening. First time see Og bounce split by itself pretty cool.

Roughly how big is it now ?

Idk it expand and change size depending lighting. I'm going give it help in couple days to speed splitting process.

Day 10

I hope you keep them and grow them out

Yep hoping to grow em out let em split more. I think I overdosed silicate which stress em into split

Dibs on the one with the most and biggest bounces!

@thephoreefer How do you attach the mushrooms to your rubble/frag plug? Last time / first time I tried attaching OG Bounce to rubble I tried superglue and they just shed and disconnected. I ended up trying to put the frags into a mushroom box filled with rubble but I suppose flow in my tank was too high and they kept getting blown around so they wouldn’t attach. Needless to say it was a failed experiment for me!

Mine already attach to rubble before it decided to split. During split it use rubble to make hole then slowly tear itself apart into many pieces. I had to use coral clipper to cut rubble up, separating the split parts.
Once they float it’s really hard to get them to stick, usually that stress em out a lot sometime even die. I’ve read as long as their foot sticks into rubble u will have new og bounce. Low flow and low light for now, they currently getting 40par. Maybe try getting fish acclimation boxes that have small slits to allow water to get in. Put em in and allow them time to stick. Put it on top surface where u think will have lease amount of flow

My tank is og bounce only, about 3 gal of water so it’s small and return is low gph. They seem to like nitrates and phosphates with low light 100par, with blue lighting. Currently have it kessil a80 half intensity with color turn to all blue. Will be higher intensity when they grow bigger.

My Ogs do better with low nutrients for some reason and 250 par

Forgot about it and nutrient gone sky high. They shrunk in size maybe stress from nutrient or part of progress? Not home to see it during peak level. Pictures taken 30 mins til light out. Did 50% water change every day for 4 days. Normal nutrient level now. Develope somewhat circle shape. Long way to go. 2 months progress.

im suprised they didnt melt LOL
