Please do a follow up on the frags, especially the no mouth frags.
@GalleryAquaticaTV Жыл бұрын
Hi Freddy, I am sorry we didn’t get a chance to do a follow up film session on these . But I do recall the frags with the mouth were definitely more successful. When exposed to ideal conditions, the base tissue frags are able to generate energy from the light to create their own mouth, and once that has occurred, their growth is exponentially faster.

Awesome video Ania, as always! I have a couple chalices that are encrusted to pieces of rock and are flaring out into plates as they get too big for the rocks. I see some fragging in my future! One is brilliant gold with purple shading around the mouths. And the other has orange mouths on a blue-green base with yellow knobby ridges - both are stunners. Watching your video gave me a few great tips so maybe I’ll be less nervous lol. 👍🏻
@GalleryAquaticaTV4 жыл бұрын
Thank you SO much for your encouraging words. I find most Chalice corals appreciate Subdued - moderately subdued lighting and higher flow. I don’t feel them often but am trying to target feed these drags at least twice a week with powdered food to assist with growth. Ania

TattooedDancer91 interesting! The divers who collect it have told me that it is often found sideways on cave walls or almost upside down on ledges so I generally only give it low intensity light.

@@GalleryAquaticaTV Yeah that sounds like next to no light. I have three survivors, I'll try placing them vertically away from the light, so they only get ambient/reflective T5 light, thanks! :) Information about the corals natural habitats are super interesting and rather hard to come by.

Great tutorial! i am still in the buying stage though and wanting to know if all chalices plate out like the hollywood stunners I have seen in tanks that grow like a monticap sort off. I always though they dii but someone said in a pervious video they didint! I am lookling at a jaydas watermelon that going off on ebay and lost my pervious one. I dont know which kid that was but it was flat and thinner and not bumpy like the jayda's. Will that plate out? If not how does it grow. Is it encrusting because I dont care for a coral that will just takeover a rock!

Hi, from Halifax Canada. Ania, I have a frag question. My LFS mentioned that he had high loss when he frags some challaice. I suspect it's because he uses a saw, and it's not clean or used to cut something else first. Also, I wonder if he uses clean water with iodine. I'm wondering if you know of some challaice dying off from fragging or if it's his process. Maybe he should try bone cutters instead. The one he had fragged was green with purple mouths. He also mentioned that during a recent trip to Toronto that some other LFS owners also have problems with some challaice and are not quick to cut a piece off for him when asked. Seasons greetings
@GalleryAquaticaTV Жыл бұрын
Hi John, thank you so much for watching. Great question. Typically losses encountered with Chalice are highly likely to be from the tissue being ripped in the process, and as you suspected, it is exposed to a contaminant or bad bacteria etc to promote tissue decay. Iodine based dips are antibacterial and can be used for this. If he is using a saw, he would benefit from putting iodine in the water which drips over the saw to keep it wet. I also believe for ultimate success it’s important to have a mouth. Or a piece of mouth, though it isn’t necessarily a determining factor to success. Aftercare for LPS frags is thought to be the main driving force - daily dosing or bathing in direct uptake vitamins such as Coral Essentials CVE+ or their Amino Gro are a perfect solution. Hope that helps. And Merry Christmas to you! Ania

Great video Ania, thanks for sharing. In your experience, once the process of STN has started, can you reverse this and save them? I have a beautiful almost fluorescent green one and over recent months it has receded to only about 15% tissue left and the rest dead. Wondering if i could save the last bit and regrow?
@GalleryAquaticaTV Жыл бұрын
Hi Matt, thanks for the great question. I definitely think after care is very important with LPS success. Using a direct uptake vitamin supplement such as COral Essentials brand CVE+ or their Amino Gro would definitely help. Some people bathe deteriorating LPS in the CVE+ and find great success. Hope that helps and my apologies for the delay in reply :) Ania

I can't seem to sell Chalice frags to save my life. If I sold them online via close up macro photos etc I reckon they'd sell OK but when trying to sell them in the flesh from a display tank customers either don't look at them twice, or the few that do loose interest when finding out the price. Eventually I'll often end up selling them cut price to break even or at a loss just to get shot & make some space.

I agree, they aren’t big sellers. Macro shots help but the best way is to provide a picture of the mother colony or show it to someone once grown out. Ania
