mogurnda January 4, 2007 Share January 4, 2007 I thought this sentence from Eric Borneman was interesting But I'll be dipped if that doesn't look like an octocoral polyp and I think it equally as unlikely that any octocoral would have settled on that branch since it went in the tank.

jason the filter freak January 5, 2007 Share January 5, 2007 I'd hate to say something about killing something that you may have just brought back to life, but is there any way to remove a polyp and compare it to cellular structures of other polyps in the tank that could have populated that piece of branch?

Gatortailale January 5, 2007 Share January 5, 2007 so far it's just the 2 polyps? If it was me, I would wait a few more days to see if any more pop out. Any more signs on stock? Has anyone suggested feeding it - maybe cyclop or photoplankton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dzekunoi January 5, 2007 Author Share January 5, 2007 It's 7 polyps on the entire colony. It seems like it will be more too. Wow, check all that hallabaloo on MD - link in prev. posts !!!

Zac I'll be famous and start charging $$$ for the looks ( of a wonder gorgonian, maybe prehistoric) and donate to charity WAMAS will be famous too!

traveller7 January 5, 2007 Share January 5, 2007 IMHO, protect at least a portion of it from algae over growth and keep it intact until it really gets established. Very cool regardless of the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzekunoi January 5, 2007 Author Share January 5, 2007 (edited) Um, Inna, I have a dead seahorse in my fridge.... Zombi seahorses might be very dangerouse, let's not do it. Zombi corals are not that dangerouse, let's stick with them. Wha-ha-ha-ha ( mad scientist's laughter) IMHO, protect at least a portion of it from algae over growth and keep it intact until it really gets established. Very cool regardless of the outcome. Scott, how to protect it from algea overgrowth? I would hate to scrape it ( as I usually do with other Gorgonians of mine) Edited January 5, 2007 by dzekunoi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traveller7 January 5, 2007 Share January 5, 2007 (edited) Scott, how to protect it from algea overgrowth? I would hate to scrape it ( as I usually do with other Gorgonians of mine) In my experience place a portion of the "colony" under an overhang which allows flow, but blocks light. May be best to leave it as is until you see an issue, but I suspect a portion of branches will be prime substrate for slime algae.

I do not have any problems with any algea so far but with a new tank you never know for sure. I think I will not move/ handle it for now as I'm afraid to do something wrong to it. Horses keep hanging on it though... Could it be a potential problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
