P. grandis Eye Candy

[bryan]

Thought maybe we could have a thread just for the P. grandis polyps we find. Always have been one of my favorites, so I'll start with a couple pics.

Show em' off and Happy New Year!

Peace, Bryan

All I can say is wow...

The first set of P.Grandis are amazing. I love these things but never have had any luck with them. Mine never opened up fully.

I've had the same trouble in the past, but after talking with Larry, seems I was simply getting too much light on them. I though I had them pretty dim, but as soon as I got them as far from the bulb as possible, they opened right up.

I also have some in low flow, and some in more moderate flow. The ones pictured are the low flow spot....the moderate flow ones don't seem near as happy....yet

I have been seeing a few come in lately at my lfs, but they are always completely brown, unlike these.

Here is mine. I hope it will grow up just like Bryans. On the other side of this polyp is my 1st captive raised baby grandis.I am a proud father.

Nice ones Bryan. Glad moving them did the trick. I thought it would. Mine hate the light.

 

[Carolina Frags]

Mine does good when i place them under a overhang where it will be shaded and the flow low

Those are so cool. I've never had one of them.

That first pic bryan with the red and green (Christmas Grandis) are incredible!

 

[bryan]

Thanks guys, I'm definitely going to try and culture those greens for sure. Hopefully I can get them to hold the color as well.

Those are pretty sweet Bryan....I just finished woeking out a trade for some of the Grandis.....Been looking for ever and no place here in town get them. I found some at the tropicorium in Romulus but that's 2 hrs away and they wanted $40 a polyp....

I will add pics once I get them....

I want some....

[Azurel]

I definitely want some of the first ones.....

 

[msman825]

are these grandis on the bottom left

 

[Zeppelin]

Dont see them. The ones I see are large button polyps, but not grandis.

 

[Azurel]

I agree with Zepp.....

 

[Zeppelin]

My contribution. Gotta trade you one of these for one of YOUR green morphs Bryan.

 

[msman825]

Ok. thanks Zeppelin. I was curious if they were a part of that family. Those i have grow like weeds. and go from green to redish brown under bright lights

Hey Dad, I have a mommy polyp and two babies. Maybe we can get together sometime and trade a polyp or two.
