So where do you recommend selling them?
@howtoreef60716 жыл бұрын
Sherman is Watching Hi mate I recommend selling on eBay shipping them in small boxes with a heat pack. I could make a video on how to do that also. Or you can find local Facebook groups so people can collect from your house.

Also might be smart to do a water change after. So I guess just propagate the coral on a day that you plan to do a water change and kill two birds with one stone.

Just cut the whole top off in one cut. Leave the stump to regrow. Cut up the top outside of the tank so the other corals don't get stressed with poisons.

What do you cal this type? Most people on ebay sell them as toadstools! Iknow there are Japanese and tyree and stuff like that but I am just looking for a long polyp type that will grow wavy like this and be a fast grower! Tere is a woman on ebay selling them like crazy! But she blocked me lol. Wierd. Looks like the one she is sellin now maybe different but i am scared to buy somewhere else because i hard some people say theres were slow growers and she said she frags her 2 x a year! Plus Its beautiful!

Hi davey51 the glue initially holds the frag onto the plug. After a period of time the base of the toadstool will grow down and permanently attach to the frag plug. 🙂

What do you call this type of toadstoll. Seems the are all called sarcophyton and when they are frags you have no idea how they will grow. I have heard one person on ebay call this an umbrella I believe is that what it is beside sarcophyton? I also love devils hand. I like the tall ones but they get to big and unless you just cut off the whole stalk no way to cut it back like you did with this!

They dont have a central nervous system to recognize what we call pain. However they do understand they have been damaged and repair themselves.

@@jackson7962 correction, they don’t “understand” anything. They just unconsciously react to stimuli, that’s it. To the coral being cut is exactly the same as being exposed to sun or being fed or being exposed to slightly more salty water - just another stimuli to react to.

@rhobbs94173 жыл бұрын
Aside from the fact it’s a living creature and he’s hacking it up. They breed naturally when they release eggs and sperm from separate colonies. It’s like taking starfish from your tank and cutting them in half because “oh well they can grow back limbs” except at least with them, some naturally split but it’s because they decide to and it doesn’t cause them pain. You wouldn’t cut off your dogs legs cos it grew too tall to fit through the doggy door, you’d buy a bigger one for it

@@rhobbs9417 These things don’t even have brains, bro. They have no concept of self. They do not “feel” anything - they have utterly unconscious reactions to environmental stimuli. To this coral being cut probably “feels” exactly the same as the salinity going slightly up or the phosphate level in the tank decreasing. So comparing this random coral to a dog is a bit much.
