      Agreed @Nano Tank Reefer on the hunt for Clove Polyps soon don't see lots of types available in the UK though, planning a section of my scape as a sort of mixed Clove garden!

    I just put 3 polyps of firework cloves in my aquarium! I have had it setup for almost a year now, and just started adding coral. My first ones were a gsp and a gorgonian. I added them 3 months ago and that gsp has turned into an island on the rock I placed it on! I just added the firework clove, 2 green candy canes, 2 feather dusters, and a flourescent orange acro piece that is plated but has branches lifting off of it. Excited to see how this goes with all of these corals! I'm already hooked. My question is... I haven't glued the frag plugs bc I want to be able to move them if they're not happy where I placed them. ( I'm new to this) when I do glue them... but decide to move my tank or change the scape how in the world to I remove the corals for transport?

    Got one in a frag pack as one of my first corals. It didn’t open up for like 3 weeks to be honest tank was still cycling but not about 3 months later it’s doing amazing it’s one of the best looking corals in my pico reef along with my Duncan. ❤
    Update it stayed closed for almost 2 weeks I was using a baster to clean some sand off my rocks and it flaked apart and a nice brown spot appeared in it. Did a little digging and the green had completely flaked off and left behind a white skeleton 😢

    • @aritosoto
      @aritosoto 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I got one, it opens and closes randomly so I assume it is not crazy happy right now. Can't wait to see them once they are open, seems amazing in the videos.

  • @zacharylewis417
    @zacharylewis417 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Just picked one up as my very first corals. I'd say mine did not like flow. The moment I turn it up they close. so I moved it away and near the return nozzle. Just the perfect flow it likes.

  • @DogwoodMountainMama
    @DogwoodMountainMama 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I have some rainbow clove and they did really good at branching off and growing into the rock, but the ones on the actual plug itself died off, so I have new polyps all around an almost bare plug. Is that normal for the old ones to die off?

  • @michaelross5674

    Question for you?????
    I just bought a redsea max 130 d. AIO tank.....I want to take lid off that has compact fluorescent lights....is that a good idea or bad idea first off. ????
    Now Wich light would be best or good for that size ????? Or should I leave light lid alone and add good blue lights to make coral pop???
