Coral on skull

[aquadise]

My bit of progress of candy cane on the skull.

In the past I used to have a gsp on it (not sure the name of that coral). But when transferred from the old tank, it dies in the new tank.

Some of my other skulls.

Thanks. It takes months, even year to cover. But just days to die off if something bad happened...

That candy cane skull is especially awesome!

I don't know why I'm generally not a fan of things like this, but this is an exception to that. Pretty nifty!

Pretty cool! What material is the skull made of?

I am not sure. I guess the guy crush the carbonate stones (the one that we make the layout) and stick together with white cement (the thing that people make frag).

The chalice from the beginning. Too slow...

Wouldn’t brain coral be the obvious choice?

Unfortunately I have to sell this skull to a guy today. The sps in the tank now grow and create more shadow. I have no room at the bottom to put this skull. I know the cyphastrea will die super fast if there is lack of light. I faced this experience one time before, when it cover 70% of this skull.

For sure, any encrusted coral would be fine. I also have the montipora on statue as well. I dont have much room to try all kind of coral.

Do you make the skulls? If not where do you buy them from?

I'm with you. In general I am against decorations and artificial things in a reef, but those skulls always seem a little cool to me.

Can i ask where you got the skull?

 

[aquadise]

Do you make the skulls? If not where do you buy them from?

I bought them here in my country, Vietnam.
There are plastic ones (the one with Candy cane and Cysphatrea) and also hand crafted from calci carbonate ones (the one with Chalice).
I think you can buy the plastic skull elsewhere. It is made in China. Just try to pick the skull without paint. Anyway please use it at your own risk. I have those skulls in tank for 4 years (calculate my old tank as well) without detected anything abnormal from ICP tests. However I would disclaim any bad things happened to other tanks. The hobby is tough.
