Fragged the mother today.

I will be selling a smaller frag soon, it will be around $150ish. As soon I can find where it escaped to in the back of the tank.

New baby mushroom picture, mother is almost healed up already.

All had been going extremely well for these mushrooms until yesterday one of the babies (image below of it before it shrunk), started to shrink/deflate and eventually detach from the piece of rock it was on. I’m not sure why this happened. But for now it’s in a tiny cup with some rocks in hopes it’ll re attach.

Looks like the other baby is making up for the loss, it’s looking amazing.

I got the mother to walk onto different rock, so now I can frag again!

Fragging tomorrow

Fragged the coral on the 17th, we ended up cutting a piece of the mushroom with no rock under it and yesterday the baby finally attached after I placed it in a cup of rocks in low flow.

Here’s an update photo, 3 in cup, and other big baby mushroom which I’ll possibly frag soon. My goal is to have a total of 5 mushrooms to have available for purchase throughout the summer

Photos were taken when light was ramping down so mushrooms were smaller than usual

This is awesome. Scared to frag mine she's about 1.5". Havent thought of feeding it shrimp I have to see if it will eat now.
Can you post a video of your feeding and fragging method? Scared to cut mine but your giving me confidence here. I recently cut my 4.5" minecraft mom clean cut right down the middle and lost the cut just melted away!

Sure, I’ll post one of the feeding soon, I only spot feed every couple weeks or so, I’ve had success fragging even I didn’t get a piece of mouth on it, but it takes awhile to develop one. I did have one melt, but it was months after I fragged it, still not sure what the cause was.

Seems like the bounce is a real money maker. I’m keeping my eyes on this thread

I love that I can grow corals to help cover the cost of running the tank, very fun hobby

Protecting the king at all costs haha.
Glad you bumped this. I actually started feeding my Bounces and got them to eat. Some like it lights out and low flow but they will all eat mysis shrimp!
Would be awesome to see how you frag the Og.
