You're a Lawyer with money, I can't hang bro.

[myjohnson]

No sir. I help low income families on a daily bases and don't charge them.

You make more money than me!

Plus, I have 100K student loan to pay back.

[myjohnson]

I have to say, these are my favorite corals.

[soymilk]

they look happy as heck.

Which pellets are you feeding them? Do you see any difference between pellets? Let me know next time you order more FM stuff.... i wanna get the zoa food and lps food.

[myjohnson]

I only feed the one in the back pellets. It's tentacles are long and really responsive to food. It even trys to eat my forceps when I target feed!

I been feeding it NLS pellets for chiclid, the pellets you have me (I forgot what they are called), and mysis.

The two up front came in decent condition but I still had to do the "container method" on them. They are finally becoming more responsive to the mysis after almost 4 weeks.

I target feed each of the heads with mysis in the tank now. And they are all responsive.

Also, I think the FM food product for gorgs is helping them too.

I see them catching little bits of food and putting in their mouth.

Once all the dendros and suncorals have long tentacles and they are back to full condition I'm switch them over to pellets only.

This mysis junk is jacking my water up.

Dude that trick to get the Dendro out worked. Its open more. I just found Aiptasia in my tank. I dont know how it got there havent added anything in a long time.

[myjohnson]

Yeah, it never fails man.

If the container method can't bring it back then the coral is already dead.

Keep doing it every day until it's full responsive in your tank.

PE mysis will make it strong. I have two small new heads on my dendro already.

Hit that Aiptasia with some lime juice.

They can grow from almost nothing. All they need is some cells and they can grow.

[Darbex]

What is the lime juice method?

[myjohnson]

Use a syringe. Literally suck up juice from a lime and stick the Aiptasia right in the middle. That will kill it for good.

Or at least it worked for me when I had them.

[Darbex]

Sweet will try it tonight. The type of aiptasia I have actually looks cool but I know they spread fast.

[myjohnson]

Yeah, it can get out of hand fast. Plus you don't want them stinging anything expensive.

[Darbex]

So I basically jam the syringe into it and pump it full of lemon juice?

[myjohnson]

yup, the stuff they sell is basically lime juice.

Don't use too much b/c it can change the condition of your water.

I would run carbon too. B/c the coral is going to spit out some nasty stuff trying to defend itself.

[myjohnson]

So, I couldn't help myself and got another colony of dendros!

There is 10 heads on it. Mostly big some small.

dendros cost 20-30 for single heads....but Donnie for CP showed me that love!

Ok, so here is a the picture of the dendro in the bag.



notice the feeding tentacles already expanding on the bag. This means that they are in a good condition.

I decided to mount the coral to a rock so that I can position the dendros in such a way that I can target feed all the heads.







I'll post more shots in a few days once it gets settled in.

let me know what you guys think!

[soymilk]

Nice pe in the bag. Lol

You sure do love target feeding. I haven't fed my a cans in like a month.
