MORPHS

[BOWDY]

i got these today- ( I belive you may call them elephant ears)

hows this, their 6 bucks each or get a colony for 2 bucks each,( cos there a pain in the arse ( *** )to remove.

they only count the med-lge ones and smalls arent counted.

i ended up with 30 + morphs for $20.oo.

i think i got ripped off.

there are 3 types in all, mixed on 3 different branchs of coral.

check it out!

i would say you did damn good...those are what we call mushrooms (actinodiscus/discosoma)...they generally sell for about $5 a head here

elephant ears in this land are large, fish eating 'shrooms of the genus Rhodactis...considerably more pricey...maybe $35-45 a head

Actually what we call elephant ears are cinnomon flavered bread that we eat at a carnival.

jk

[BOWDY]

LOL GOOFY BASTARDS ,

[1979camaro]

i like my buns like i like my women, and ill leave it at that...now ive got two things other than fish on my mind...curses

but seriously, when those shrooms start spreading i want to see some new pics for growth comparison

what kind of light you got?

 

[BOWDY]

lol @curses

sure thing,

at reef HQ ( posted link i added ) they have a tank its about,

8-9 ft tall, 7 foot in lenth, and 3-4 ft in depth.

it has that fake rock ( polystyrine coated in cement, which has color added and they run a mould over it, looks so real)
( i have been looking how to get this or do it, when i do i will post it )

now the whole back wall is this rock wall , ledges and little cave etc etc .

now this whole wall is coated with these morphs (shrooms) it looks unreal, the wife said, neil you are not getting one of those, NO!

oh and there are 2 morays in there too, thats it morphs and eels, i will get a pic of this too because i want you to see it, its awesome ( well i think so, )

[DSK]

You got a good deal on the mushy's

 

[BOWDY]

i have removed about 10 of them, and along with other ones previously owned that where found under rock (small) and planted them into the coral floor, they have grown fairly large so far and doing well. i have never had luck with placing them to new rock. i need pointers here fish dudes.

 

[1979camaro]

usually if you just set them next to a piece of rock rubble they will attach...alternatively you can use wedding veil material and wrap it around the mushroom (or morph) and the rock, after a couple weeks it should attach for sure

 

[BOWDY]

What a bloody good idea, mmmmm now where is that wedding dress, i am sure she wont mind. lol

 

[1979camaro]

lol

 

[BOWDY]

calling all morph buffs

SPLITTING- when morphs split - do they shrink and have a hard apperance? bit like a node?

 

[1979camaro]

yes, a lot of times they seem to...then they open up again in a day or so and there are two little ones instead of one big one
