My blastos:

There is some tissue recession due to an attack from frogspawn.

 

My Duncans:

I got them in February and they were just 2 heads. I would say I have had some growth.

Thanks!

I was pretty upset when I saw what happened to the blastos. I had not paid attention to how big the frogspawn had gotten. brickwall.gifI shall see what happens to it.

OMG, that head has almost regenerated all of the tissue that was lost. Pics to come.

Yeah.  Duncan's grow like crazy.

 

 

Here is a pic of mine when I first got them.  The pic is dated 4/1/2010 and there were 3 little heads.

main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=24303&g2_serialNumber=2

 

 

Here is one from 9/28/2010. They had grown several new heads in a little under 6 months.

main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=38030&g2_serialNumber=2

 

 

Here is a fairly recent photo.  I just counted and there are at least 19 heads!  He was recently mauled by a Bristletailed Filefish that I added to clean up Majano Anemones.  His polyps have been withdrawn, but are coming out a little more each day.

What do you keep your dkH at?  I've read that higher alk promotes faster stony coral growth.  I keep my dkH around 9 - 10.  Mine are aquacultured.  I feed them a fairly often as well.
