Encrusted Coral Skull Thread

[InvoluntaryReefer]

I'll have to get a better one this weekend. The backside is the furthest down right now, which obviously tells me I need to push it back. There are lots of critters that sleep underneath and I always feel bad when I relocate their home.

This one is mine. It's actually nearly fully encrusted now. Took about 4 years - but it's pretty large, bigger than a baseball. I have a love/hate relationship with it. My husband grabbed it at RAP when I wasn't looking.

Mine was doing great and then I came home from work most of it
Is dying

Here's mine...I'm hoping he makes a comeback he was doing awesome for a while...hermits may have irritated him. I find them in him every now and then.

Do you guys have to do anything to the skulls before you stick them in and what are the skulls made out of? I had one in my tank but it started deteriorating so I took it out.

Just use a plain plastic skull, glass works too.

For the small plastic one I used there was a need for some cleaned up the flash along the manufacturing seams, roughed it up a little with sandpaper. Also suggest poking some small holes in it to let air out ( or it floats ), and glued it to a piece of frag rock for weight.
