Do you grow coral on cool things?

I don’t have any pics but my buddy used to glue gsp to snails

I have some GSP growing across a oriental lantern. The only thing I still have from my first salt water tank.

Is there any reason that a 3d printer couldn't be used to make a cool shape for an encrusting coral to cover? Especially if it was printed with abs or petg.

Well that's awesome looking. I know you said it isn't yours but any idea what they used for the skull that is reef safe?

Saw this on Facebook marketplace a while back!

I have a 3D printed basket that I keep mushrooms in it works great. I now have polips covering it as well.

Do you know what kind of filament that its made from? I have some tubing holders in my sump that are petg that I printed and they've never caused any issues that I know of.

I'm really wanting to make one of the coral covered items so I was looking on amazon for glass or ceramic figures and then it dawned on me that I could probably just use my 3d printer.

That's interesting looking but I bet it looked a lot better before the coral died.

I didn’t print it my self and the guy that printed it for me he and I had a fall out.

Here is a pick of the printed basket.

Ok thanks anyway.

I've done that as well. I had a turbo snail that fell on the floor, cracked its shell. I glues a GSP bandaid on him

That's is amazing

Do you have any pictures? I have contemplated doing this, but I don't want to run the risk of it spreading to other parts of the tank. Right now my snails look like little furballs with the algae growing on them.

Here is my meteor shower cyphastrea that I have been growing for some time now

 

[CMMorgan]

Not mine but I love anything covered in Cyphastrea

This would literally give me nightmares. Sleeping with the lights on tonight.

Totally need to do that!
