Question about Coraline's growth..

[DracoKat]

I found a piece of what looks like a branching coraline that's growing like a monti. I can't take a photo because of the photo angle and tiny size.

Is it possible for coraline to grow like this? if so, does anyone have photos of what it can look like? I hope it does grow like monti's because it's on my overflow and I'd love it if it grows there

This is what I found quickly. Ive also seen it for sale from time to time.

Is it common?

you are lucky and id pay for a frag of that were it ever for sale here. I think growing it would be tricky tank to tank, if yours selects for it then that's awesome.

I can't claim to "Score" it yet, at least not until it grows.. there's only one little 'shelf' so far. It's tiny, pinky nail tiny. I hope none of the fish breaks it off!

Ive never gotten one. The common wisdom is it relies on good water. If its growing now it must be happy so keep that up would me my guess.
