Raising Dendronephthya and Scleronephthya, next step, pt1

[Rispa]

Fyi, I've got so desperate to obtain these corals. I just close on some commercial property, to use as satellite office, getting dba, business lic., bank acct. Set up in 1-2 weeks , all this to open as a wholesale dealer, selling only to wholesalers. No retail stores. We'll see. Not my money, so cost me almost nothing.

Awesome. If this works out I'll be happy to buy from you and support your side business.

I'll keep you posted

@Jomama can you share more about your bird poop idea? I have access to a lot of it lol

You know, I bought 2 days ago a bird cage. It's going on top of test tank. I was going to set up were the bird had contact to some of the water(to cool down ). But I realised he/she might drink water. So just letting bird poop in it.

If and when you try raising these corals, try a little bird poop. Little to start with.

That's a cool idea. I'll give it a go. All it is if I can find one. Why did you decide to try bird poop?

The small sclero, has tentacles showing. Very good sign. Just don't see weight gain yet. Patience grass hopper.

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

You know with these corals and other hard to raise corals. Not everything has been done under the sun. To try raising them. I'm noticing.

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Just noticed, three polyps. One growing on stalk of sclero, close to stalk attached to rock. Two other together on different rock, their either sclero, or some soft coral. I can see tentacles . Cool

Tonight I saw a Japanese Pink Nephthea. I'm wonder if that's what I have. I gotta shine some light to it. Sucks. If that's what I have. Bummer .

I think the polyps look different

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

I saw some pictures, look same. When I setup lighting I'll know. Bummer. It is getting better. Very little lighting.

Taking the plunge, ordering direct from source, hope they have some. 20- small variety dendro/sclero, will be $1100. Hope they have.
