Coral Of The Week - Euphyllias

[Morri]

Thanks for the advice!

I would love to get one for sure. Just thinking of where I could place it, there are a few places but they all either have medium to high flow. Would this be an issue for most Euphyllias?

I moved my torch into a medium flow area and it still extended but did not look right mine seems to like a gentle flow to swirl around in.

light in my tank seems to be no issue so low to medium light should be fine.

Dave..look out the branching hammer...not as aggressive as many others and sits high up from the rockwork on a long calcereous stalk....a few on here have these if you check back..a real beauty of a coral as well under any lights !!!

Yip the hammerheads are stunning on my potential list for my 18" cube

Yep, I have seen some of the various peoples hammers on here, truly stunning looking!

How fast to these various Euphyllias grow?
In other words, will I spend a lot of time fragging and trying to offload frags in order to keep the size suitable for a nano?

Make sure you get a branching hammer and not an ancora as they are down rite nasty,lol....Depends on feeding and calcium levels really......won't out grow a nano for at least a few years though....fragging these is simple as well and there will always be someone looking for frags on the forums .....

Especially if they are different colours to the ones I already have

lol.....although if anyone wanted frags it would cost overnight courier shipping from Ireland!!

Buddy and owl are in ireland. I will be sending bud some frags myself very soon.

The postman picked up the food this morning bud, should get it tomorrow or Thursday

Gotta do the frags later, then weigh them to check the postage.
