Now, finally stopped atrophy on the Scleronephtya. Next step, new thread.

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Why wait?

@Rispa here's chili coral on carousel. Just starting to open. 2 more to go

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Update on our Scleronephthya. They seems to do okey, hard to say if they grow or not. Not a big difference in the three weeks I've been away from work.
Saw polyps on 4 of 5 colonies this morning.
Here are some pictures!

They inflate and deflate as they choose. Looking good, Mr. Blue thumb.

The roots were growing on frags. Frags got stressed, died.

Sallstrom had at least one root on. One of the bigger ones though.

It looked like the whole base of the colony had moved from the rock to egg crate. It's now attached to the egg crate.
Didn't see any "roots" today.
I'll check more tomorrow.

Thanks!
I'm a little afraid they've shrunken a bit. The "arms" looks a little thinner than before. But maybe they acclimated to the new conditions and will grow thinner.
Anyway, we still don't feed a lot. We can dose a lot more algae mix, but will do some measures of the water parameters before I change anything.

If polyps start to close after increase of food, may be to much food.

Yup
