sunnymau Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 hi all, I bought 2 frags of milepora from cedric. They are growing but little polyps extension, what could be the reason? I have place them at high flow area. Rest of the corals, BN, true fiber, pocci, and some acro which i dont know the name have their polyps extension well. Btw encruting monti also growing without much polyps extension. However, when lights off, polyps extension for millepora and monti is very good. How can i encourage polyps extension when lights on? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope u didn't put them on direct flow. Or maybe u need them to settle down in ya tank for a few days n monitor progressively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnymau Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 is random flow for sure. is been in my tank for weeks. it is encrusting to the bottom and growing. Btw the true fiber optic from you has grown into a small colony, will show you a pic when available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, what millepora you got from bro Ced? Good to hear that the fiber optic frag is in good hands bro!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eniram Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Encrusting monti pe is very minimal unlike acros or the family of Stylophora and Seriatopora (birdnest family) As for your millepora what did you purchase? Meaning Sunset Millie? Green Millie? Blue Millie? I have a blue Mille from cedric that also shows little pe but still growing strong and healthy. So I won't worry too much, just as long it doesn't loose it's colour, growing and no stn. It's doing well. As for pe for sps corals at night, it's their way of feeding. They are like lps corals that extend their feeding tentacles to feed at night. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member tamama Posted January 4, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted January 4, 2013 I also got some coral from bro cedric. The corals will take some time to get use to the lighting intensity and cycle I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnymau Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Please update the progress, it's helpful info... Royal blue frag from bro Cedric still growing well with little polyps extension, however recently got a pink Millie from GO, polyps extension is very good after stabilized .. So I will just leave the royal blue frag alone for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
