Dendronephthya & Scleronephthya aquaculture

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Going to keep looking hopefully find larger ones clear course.

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

One healthy dendronephthya coral, either it feels comfortable and made itself at home, because it's expanded enough to were it's looking like an arch, all polyps are open so it must be happy but I'm trying to figure out if I should relocate so that it can expand more natural like in the wild. We'll see. Decision decisions.

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Tomorrow hopefully I will be picking up 10 dendronephthya corals, maybe like the photo.

 

[Subsea]

My master piece will be a round tank(which i have) and funnel the bottom to let excess food accumulate and then remove excess food and help water perimeters for the benefit of my children of the sea. Stay tune.

In the planning stages

Ten years ago, I visited The San Monica Bay Aquarium. It was awesome. On the roof of the Aquarium, the source of “ the rhythm of surge with reversing flow” was a piston that looked to be 50’ in diameter. I was hypnotized by it as I closed my eyes and felt the sea breeze with warm sunshine.

As the “windmills of my wind” carried me into that vision, I could feel the warm spray and , then the clamoring of birds brought me to a different place:

It is so annoying when “detritus is reigning”.

Precious Cargo, just picked up 8 dendronephthya and three Sun polyp corals 2 black and one orange.

I hate detritus, makes me have to pick-up after it. :mad:

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Okay, I acclimated the 8 corals, two black sun polyp corals, one orange sun polyp Coral. Waiting game now. Patience of Job.

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Not really happy with the quality of the new corals . But beggars can't be choosy. Next few days will know how healthy they are. Here's a sneak peek what I got. The yellow polyp, white stalk, really beautiful.

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Boy, you add a few extra dendronephthya corals and is becomes survival of the fittest. One of the original Corals in particular is twice the size now. I figure it out the flow pattern they like, they look more natural than before in the water, they like a surge like flow One Direction then same thing the opposite direction. And before I had more of a linear One Direction stream like flow then same thing coming from the opposite direction. Eflux stream 1050 pumps are the way to go. More programming features.

Now it's a wait and see game again. But patience of Job

Next is to frag one Coral to a plug and see if we're successful at it. One Coral at a time. Stay tune

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Forgot to mention, out of the 8 or so corals I got yesterday, only three or four look promising. Bummer

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

All dendronephthya corals their polyps are open. They are very happy, it turns out that most of the corals I bought yesterday look a lot better today. I hope you enjoy

 

[Subsea]

I am glad your exotic softies are bouncig back. I also received stuff yesterday. I got sponges and no, I didn’t go to an AA meeting.

Wow, very nice, comrade. I love sponges, I'm looking for a small spider sponge or two. Thanks for sharing

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

some children of the sea are awake all polyps are open

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Some children of the sea are just waking up, talk about Bankers hours

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

since adding the 8 dendronephthya corals this original one that's been a live so far over one month is like double the size very Hardy so far.

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Following, thanks for sharing, must be a labor of love. Awesome corals.

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

some fish at the wholesaler

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

411, I just placed an order for Carnation corals from Africa hopefully we'll see when they come in. Stay tune

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

One thing I've noticed today from the Carnation corals is that when you place them really close to each other they will contort themselves twist and stretch and so forth, every imaginable twisting, so they don't touch each other, pretty cool.
