Grafting corals

alliecat · Apr 30, 2013

Ok- I posted about this a few weeks ago (grafting frogspawn and hammer- which I still haven't gotten around to yet because I didn't get the frogspawn from my friend yet) but anyway- I just did a huge coral order and got a bunch of different acan frags, favia frags, and maze brain frags. I was thinking about grafting the conspecifics together- has anyone done this? Meaning different favias together, different mazes together, or different acans together? It would look pretty cool- and once I get around to doing this I'd have a pretty extreme grafted tank

I haven't personally done it, but it should be possible so long as there aren't aggression issues between species. Keep in mind that although you have Favia, they may not all be the same species. Things like Acans are easy to do by mounting several next to each other, and the Acan species is typically known, so aggression is less likely to be a problem if you use one species. I've seen several A. lordhowensis "multi-frag" (baby grafts) pieces for sale.

So ill definitely do the acan then. Hmm. I wonder about the mazes and favias...

I had a huge frog spawn probably 40 head and put a hammer in the middle and the hammer grew to probably 20 heads look really cool but got rid of to make room for sticks

@kacro that's good to know its been done before then. & @calvo I see you took my advice... If you're lucky like me they will split heads pretty quickly. I got mine 2 months ago and I already got one more head
