This is cool. I always wanted to try to grow a frag out hanging it like that. I read about it in Anthony Calfo's book. I haven't figured out a good way to do it yet though. If anybody has ideas I would love to hear them. I thought of fishing line but would need to hook it at the top and the bottom I imagine so it isn't flapping around in the current like some wild acro kite! Wire would rust and ruin water quality I would think. Maybe time for a little experimentation! Open to suggestions.
I wonder if we will get to see pictures of these corals in 6 mo or 12 mo. I would be interested in seeing them.
