SRC Member flubberina13 Posted October 17, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted October 17, 2004 I was also thinking someone had taken it as I didn't see it anymore. But I told Bak to look out for it in the morning. True enough...it surfaced for a worthy customer... I believe DB's name was on the list too...if I'm not wrong. And for the first on the list, you have to know his standard for prata and that's why he didn't take this and that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also glad that the person who have waited for that nicest one finally got it after such a long wait... Just promised to take good care of it... So far you will be the only person I know that owns an orange one although I have seen others with blue, pink, red and purple tips. Any other colours we dun know yet?

DeepBlue Posted October 17, 2004 Author Share Posted October 17, 2004 actually I have owned a few red pratas in the past....this one is nothing lah.... I think this is more of a green prata than red ... I seem to have lousy husbandry skills when comes to pratas...always have problem keeping them healthy.... Hope this one will do well....

SRC Member flubberina13 Posted October 17, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted October 17, 2004 observed something interesting tonight....seldom see the tentacles of this piece extending so far out.... If you wake up in the middle of the night and shone your torch into it...you will see those tentacles. Mine have bben doing so every night... Anyway, I recognise the middle patch of algae..this is the one I nearly got for you but I choose a bigger and darker piece. There were four pieces to be chosen then...We go and see them on Tuesday. Dun like it...I may sell away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member scarab Posted October 17, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted October 17, 2004 Some favias have short tentacles but some has tentacles that extend almost 2 to 3 inches, especially at night. However, even short tentacle ones sometime develop those long sweeper ones due to 2 reasons. Firstly is increase flow, where the coral is stimulated to received food normally brought by high current. Secondly is the corals are preparing to go thru a growth spurt and are trying to clear space around them, using the sweeper tentacles as a weapon. Have notice these with most moons and trumpet/candy cane corals as well. So favia owners beware of what you place around them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
