babies!!!!

[nm reef]

The sarcophyton spp. that I got at a huge discount from the lfs('cause it was doing bad....:} )...has progressed very well in my reef......fully opens and polyps extend daily.....over all this lavender colored toadstool coral has turned into quite a cheap and beautiful addition
recently I saw 2 small sections that seemed to be seperating from the coral.....didn't know what was up at first....but now I do.......both sections sort of were splitting off from the coral so I removed them and placed them in different spots in the tank.....today both dime sized frags are spread to about a quarter size with polyps extended.......got a "sick" sarcophyton spp. from the lfs for 10.99(was 49.99 I think) and now have a fully recovered parent and 2 growing babies........man it feels good to see nature in your indoor systems....at least I'm pleased with it.....and couldn't resist sharing with those of you that have helped me and my New Mexico reef!!!!!!!!!!

Cool !
Always glad to hear stuff like this
Nice job saving it from death, and giving the coral a second ( third and fourth ) chance to live.

I think that the reason it was "sick" was because it was getting ready to split and the inexperience lfs manager didn't know what was up and wasn't going to risk the rest of the stock. My mushrooms are always splitting and at first they look terrible and then boom two healthy pieces.
