That's beautiful. If your mission is successful I would love to buy a frag. I live in Lancaster. Keep us posted on this. Thank you.

fragging would be very very risky. like "cutting an arm off to see if the arm will grow a new person" type of risky. QUOTE]
well, if they lose all of their heads in order to spawn, they can be fragged as well, correct?
i mean...it would be like ripping off one of your own arms to grow a new you!

I wonder is the dropping of the heads a way to self propagate? What happened to the ones that dropped off of yours?

i haven't looked terribly hard, but i don't see them. that would be cool if they do sprout up here and there, especially all of them. i'll become a tunicate pimp!

maybe we should now move this to the non-photosynthetic area, since that area needs some posts, and this would just fit better there

yeah..it's cool. i had it up for sale for about 30 seconds, but my GF made me take the thread down.
non-photo animals just freak me out

update- when i had the 14 hour power outtage, this thing took a turn for the worst. all the heads melted off and it shriveled up to about a 2" stub.
a few waterchanges later, and it's growing new heads again

WOW. THAT IS AN AWESOME LOOKING CORAL. Does it glow in the night time lights ? Looks wonderful though and if you did ever successfully frag it. I'd like a piece.

it's not a coral. it's a tunicate. it is quite interesting though, and is also proving to be quite resilient.

i don't feed it anything. there's plenty of food in the water already.

just check all my sale threads. chances are i have most if not all of those things( the parent colonies)

eh...the heads die off almost every week, then grow back. it's all shrunk up now....i don't think it's doing well at all.
it's possible that the power outtage i had recently put my tank through some sort of mini cycle. i have signs here and there like a little cyano on the sand bed around the bases of the brains.... the thing is, the sps colonies are doing well. i would think they would show stress if something was screwey with the water quality.
nothing is showing on the test kits.
meanwhile, it could simply be the fact that they really don't do well in captivity.

defiantly could be that, some things are far more sensitive than SPS this could be one of them, the minor fluctuations that SPS withstand without a hitch could be overly stressfull on the tunicate.
