Flamethrower Chalice Update... I Fragged It.

[Darren]

Well I said that I was not going to do it but it worked out. I had posted previously on how large my FT was but still only had 2 eyes. Well I fragged it a couple of weeks ago and it has new eyes popping up.

Awesome! Good luck.

My flame thrower isnt as big as yours but also has only two eyes. I wonder if I get the saw out if that will cause more eyes to pop out!

 

[Darren]

Worked for me. Also seeing some random blue streaks popping up....

 

[Mr E Wrasse]

man I really need to break down and get a frag some day... glad that worked out for ya!

 

[KLR]

Sweet! Glad to see everything is going well with it!

 

[Just Clownin Around]

As the origina poster said,please lets not ask questions on the pricing of the frags,if you wish to,please take that into a PM conversation.

Thanks

yeah, i heard that the flamethrower pops eyes out like crazy after it is fragged...awesome!!

 

[Beach Bum]

Glad to see that worked out for you.
I also will ask what happens with the frags now?
If you sell please Pm me and let me know.
Thanks

 

[Darren]

Thanks folks. Please no questions about the frags here. That was not my intent and I do not want the thread closed. TY.

 

[clowns101]

That it really cool!Good luck!

Nice! Do the frags have an eye? Can the coral grow if it doesn't have an eye?

Might be a silly question, just didn't think I saw an eye on one of the frags and that had never occurred to me before.

Thank you!

 

[skinz78]

Looking good! How many new eye's can you see? Are there any eye's on the frag?

 

[Darren]

Yes. I cut the frags with no eyes. One frag has 3 and the other has 2 forming. It was the quickest healing chalice I have ever cut.

 

[caudill187]

Nice chalice and nice job!

 

[Lowsingle]

Nice growth on that FT, mine grows so slow........

Nice, I was wondering if I cut one of my Bazooka Joe chalices in a portion without eyes will it form new ones. It's weird because I have another BJ that is 1/3 smaller with over 20 eyes and my larger colony is 3.5-4" in diameter with only 8 eyes. I won't be so scared to do it now, since you do it with your FT The Flame Thrower is on my list of chalices that I eventually need..

 

[Troylee]

I have plenty of chalices with no eyes lol... Some like the rising sun have eyes the size of a nickel so if you were to wait for a eye to form to frag it you would be waiting for ever!!!! Anyways back on topic nice piece man and one of the biggest I have seen yet!!!!1smile1

 

[akabryanhall]

Interesting experiment, I may have to try it. I have a red chalice that is about 4 inches across and only has two eyes, rather annoying, may have to try this!

 

[CJO]

Yes. I cut the frags with no eyes. One frag has 3 and the other has 2 forming. It was the quickest healing chalice I have ever cut.

Wow. I thought that most chalices were thought to need an eye in the frag for it to survive. It's good to know that may not be the case for all chalices! I wonder what other chalices don't need to have an eye cut out for the frag to survive?

Great job on the frags. I figured you would end up cutting it up at some point, but still that is my favorite piece in your tank. Need to come up with an excuse to stop by again soon and get you over to see my new setup when the lights finally get here.
