Not sure I totally understand but it sounds like funding your research? That's wonderful! Congratulations!!

On one of the threads I mention in 3 to 5 years, if these corals are thriving then crowd funding will be set up and God willing with the donations, set up a 50 gallon tanks in the different aquarium institutions for everyone to enjoy, especially future Generations that may not see these corals. Fund one project for 1 aquarium institution at a time. God willing

No this is the brown blob I got about a month or so ago.

Pretty sure that is photosynthetic. It has brown clustered in base of the polyps. It looks like stereoneptheya in fact.

No way, coming back with a vengeance you should call it die-hard

I need to clean the left side, it is slowing the coral down, recovering way faster than I thought it would!

Cool, like MixedFruitBasket mention, it's definitely photo synthetic

Die-Hard, it will not die, if it dies, it will die with a vengeance.

When it fully recovers it will be stunning.

I just took a soft pastry brush to the right side of the main stem, hopefully it will be happier soon.

So, my carnation corals in from Australia, tomorrow I pick up. It's been awhile I've had Australia dendronephthya. Stay tune

Send pics!

Any Fuchsia/Maroonish ones? Or is it more of a surprise loot box of Dendro?

Speaking of loot boxes, I joined that World Wide Coral monthly thing they have. 5 corals a month plus some other goodies for $99. My wife got it for me for 3 months. I'll probably cancel after the 3 months though because unless I give them away my tank will be full in no time.

Cool, send us pictures, I'm hoping it's 12 corals, it's a surprise on variety.

I will. I need to order a frag rack. I did order coral dip. It might actually look like a real reef tank when I'm done.

Give it some really good flow. Enough to move the branches. They really like flow and it cleans them off.

That one side has struggled since I got it, the main part of the stem couldn't shift it and it has always had strong flow, it was just a helping hand.
