liquidg Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 That sounds silly I suppose cause there are acans sps, tubastaea in there as well. This pink flexible coralline has grown 3 mill in four days. Not sure of the exact species of sponge as yet, but I have it in my top tank and it looks cool. There were hundreds washed up on the beach and all are fine now. All starting to stick together, as it is with near all sponge species. If you treat them right and set them up correctly, they attach very quickly and live a long life! Unless you put in a biscuit sea star, then they last ten minutes,lol.

liquidg Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Yeh it washed up not far from where you were during Easter, It's the only area I have seen this exact form, at all. I don't know its exact name as yet, hope fully the guys on reef central can help, if not the Q museum will know it's exact name. I got just one 50th of what was there washed up, shame it would all be dead after one day.I saved some of it,lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISSY Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) Ok yeah, can you give me a hint north or south lol, I'll be focussing more on a little more north next trip. Also, do you use a glue or reef putty or...??? Edited April 24, 2014 by BRISSY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidg Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 When I add an algae/coralline i chop it up with scissors and spread the cuttings while the current is off for a few minutes and the sponges I just force it into a notch or hole and they attach quickly. This way I get the attaching forms of corallines/algae react and go to spore and up they come. The attaching type will never attach as it was, it has to be new ones making their new life and growing that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISSY Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 And what about your corals, when you are placing them on he rock, do you use a putty or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidg Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I did up three threads for three ways on the ways I do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
