Zooanthids Vs SPS

you got me thinking about how much growth you have had, so I looked at one of my first pieces. I gotta do something myself...

Good growth..

well, I took the paring knife to them tonight... turns out the edge scraped up and they did peel off the rock fairly easily.. released a TON of nasty into the water.. my Purigen will be working overtime tonight!!!! so now, I have two frags. Each with about 15 polyps each..Ill be selling them for $15 each with pickup being either here or at the meeting on the 13th. I dont know any lineage on these. they may just be no name, but they are Super bright green and grow very well and in a tight pattern. They are mounted on plugs at this time.

Did you wear gloves? if not, how are you feeling today? do you have any small cuts on your fingers? are you still alive?

 

[pickupman66]

LOL.. yea, im alive today. no ill effects. and no, i didnt wear gloves. I peeled them back with the knife point and then just sorta broke them apart with my hand. then took theentire chunk out of the tank and cut it in half with the knife on a cutting board. yes, I did close my eyes and turn my head away (like the welders do when they dont wear a mask). no ill effects and no issues whatsoever. both frags were opening up this morning when I checked on them before leaving for work.

haha! right on. I usually dont wear gloves either. But when fragging I think I will from now on. And really from all I have read, it seems to be palys, and not zoas that are the dangerous ones. But I really dont want to test that theory too much.

And those you post uP on top chris. Are one of the ones to be careful with.

 

[Dowtish]

I agree, thats why I just got some gloves

And there a pita to kill. I hate they so much coral killer polyps it what I call them. I just finish right side island on taking them out. Next is theleft side. When I finish hooking up the frag tank .
