There are 12 photos. Calendar??

Do you think them touching encourages growth for reproduction?

 

[andrewkw]

Interesting stuff here. I never would have guessed having them touch is beneficial.

They sway and touch at times

Yes, what others have said. They even wrap around each other when reproducing

I agree. My plates look deflated until they find another. All of mine prefer touching.

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Heres the frags from rare dendronephthya. Getting stronger

I was thinking the same today while I was holding my daughter’s hand. Always makes me feel better too.

Teau Faletau, sells to public. 1 box minimum. Not bad. Few do that. He exports and has agent in LAX, they reox then send to your major airport. Can't beat that. Fresh as they come.

Do you have a email by any chance if he doesn't mind u sharing? I got his facebook page and linkedin but I do not use either believe it or not so couldn't find a web page or contact info. Was going to send a email asking about the sun corals and the box you mentioned. Not sure if it would be practical for what I'm looking for cost wise.

One box about minium 12 corals depends on type of corals. I know he has a list, includes total freight, boxing,etc.... plus $175 agent who clears customs for you. Don't forget if they sent to your major airport, that's called domestic freight, so when you go pick up will pay for that fee at pick up. How much I think from $130-$180?

Here's email [email protected]
Just remember he ship to the big boys, Emark, Sea Dwelling Creatures, Quality Marine, etc...And being from the islands, everything is slow. Even communication. Messenger on FB within minutes. Let me know how it goes. You can mention me Joseph the dendronephthya guy. I'm the only one who buys in bulk only dendronephthya & scleronephthya colonies from him.

I I just picked up two corals and started to frag one of them and I noticed this hollow hole in the hole was bone white crab, about 3/4 of an inch. never seen that before. The dendronephthya colony is thriving so must be some type of symbiotic relationship.

That is very cool! Thanks for sharing it.

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Just go text from old vendor, he has two dendronephthya colonies from Western Australia.
I'm hoping they look like this. Not best picture

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Heres my carnations. DOA. bummer
