Great news today. As soon as I got back from work, I checked my DT and guess what I saw?
My JF Bloodshot finally opened up.
I received my 2nd coral shipment from Planet Zoa (Labor Day Hundo pack) on 9/19. Included in the package was 3 polyp Space Monsters, 5 polyp Speckled Fire & Ice, 3 polyp Dark Phoenix and 7 polyp Shizznit. I also added 1 JF Bloodshot and PZ Berry Sweet frag.
All the frags were still on the frag plug, but the protective medicine cup surrounding the frags fell off except for the Speckled F&I and Dark Phoenix.
After I acclimated all the frags and placed them into my DT, after a few hours only the Speckled F&I and Dark Phoenix opened up. Eventually after 48 hours the rest began to open up except the JF Bloodshot.
Of course I was concerned, so I moved it to the left side of my DT on Saturday night to get a little more flow. After 1.5 days, the larger polyp opened up. Luckily, there is baby polyp growing from the side and hopefully will begin to grow out.
Today is a GREAT day, but the frag is not in the clear yet.
This is a weak side shot. I will wait a few more days for the polyp to settle in and then I can try a top down shot, but for now, I don't want to touch the frag plug at all.
