fungia farm

[stylaster]

Incase some people dont know. I have a large fungia farm. What is started out was a part of a dead plate coral. The babies sprouted up from there, now when they get big enough they break off, the little stock that is left regrows another one, pretty much a limitless supply of plate corals
Here's the pics

That's awesome! How long do they take to grow to that size?

 

[stylaster]

takes about 6 months to be 1.5" to 2" across inflated, actual skeleton size is about 1" to 1.5", from a base size of about a pencil eraser on the end of a number 2 pencil
