Which NUMBER is a colony?

[Evil1]

Kris, I am sure that there are only a handful of us who get it. The same folks understand “put it on the Underhill’s tab” and similar references without googling them.

Thanks for the explanation “Dr.JellyFinger”

Reminds me of the age old question, “what is the meaning of life?”. Everyone will have a different answer. Well, not really, but there will be different answers.

13 I would call a small colony, barely

"I did not inhale?"

Excellent!

Theory of Coral Relativity:
"Frag" v. "colony" is conditional.
If you are buying, it's a frag. If selling, it's a colony. Unless you bought it today and are selling it now. Then it's a "mini-colony." Unless it is a Grand Master Holy Grail. Then it's a colony upon sale, regardless of when it was acquired.

Maybe 12 and up.

Hammer 12 heads and up

This is the reefing equivalent of, "How long a minute is, depends on which side of the bathroom door you're on"

AH, this thread has many winners, and even got around to the royal flush.

A Royal departure before visiting one of the modern colonies?

11-12 minicolony
13 small colony
14 colony

Then again tank size also has its say.
In a small-medium size tank the size i aim for a colony size smaller than in larger tanks as a large colony makes the tank look smaller

I think 10 and 11 are micro, 12 is mini, 13-14 are just colonies.

When a frag plug won’t keep it stable in the rack and it needs a tile.

 

[Reef Jedi]

I’d say 12 on up

Crazy, I remember buying 14’s for the price of 1’s today.

 

[Mr. Mojo Rising]

I would say anything 50+ polyps or 12" wide

I just got rid of a Birdsnest frag yesterday. It was larger than the top of a 5 gallon bucket.

 

[Euphylliaphyle]

What is a frag but a nanocolony?

 

[Marc G-L]

14, the others are wanna be's. As in as I look at my great husbandry ( pat on the back heard), I wanna call it a colony already!

12-14
