Wow nice job on cutting the scoly and looks health after the cut. I personally would have a hard time cutting such a nice coral.

Very curious to see how this works out - please keep us all posted.

How about taking two different morphs and putting them back together?

All looks good today. Scoly is inflated and doesn't look stressed at all.

I'm sure it will survive. But i wonder how long for it to heal back to it's original donut shape

I was thinking the same thing...you could really come up with some wild looking scolys that way!!!

I just fragged my scoly a few days ago, and it is looking amazing.

here's a sequence of pictures spanning 30 minutes where I fed it.

I watched as it dropped it's intestines and wrapped up a mysis shrimp sorry about the coraline

here it is drawing up into itself

Here's a great shot of it wrapping a piece of shrimp and bring it in to eat

I worried about the stringy intestines possibly getting snagged up and damaged. But 30 minutes later, it had drawn itself back in
That was two days after we cut it, here it is 5 days from fragging...cant even see any damaged tissue looks great

Think we'll try this guy at the meeting this saturday, looks like my frag is doing alright

very nice! keep the updates coming!

how long do you guys estimate it would take for the scoly to become whole/round again? i know with fungias sometimes it doesn't turn out round as it used to.. just haven't seen anyone frag scolymias before.. :)

 

[Hypertek99]

I say another month for it to get round.

 

[Dooly Verified Sponsor]

only 1 month to get round?.. I wouldve thought more like 6 months?

 

[Hypertek99]

I guess we'll just have to wait to find out?

 

[Dooly Verified Sponsor]

yes, we need some updates.. and don't mean to hijack, but if the skeleton is showing, would it be best to dremel out the old stuff without flesh so the scoly can recover/regenerate better?

 

[bitterboy2]

I dont know, but today I noticed that it formed a new mouth. Since the cut was along the length of the mouth instead of cutting it across, the mouth seems to have rotated 90 degrees, its fully formed, and not just part of the cut.
