Was this a large or small polyp tubipora?
Only know of tubipora as "Tubipora musica or pipe organ coral. Never
knew there wa a large or small polyp species.
Dunno if they're seperate species, or simply different varieties. The
ones with larger polyps are suppesed to be hardier.
Refuguim or skimmer?
In display tank......although I do have a small piece currently in the
fuge but its normally in the DT. I run skimmers on everything.
What do you feed it?
Nothing in particular. I feed strictly frozen (home made) foods to my
fish / critters, and whatever fine particulate material they may get
when I feed is all they get. I hear they feed off bacteria in the sand
substare and require a deep sand be, which I have to dispute as I
donot have one sand bed in any of my tanks over 1 to 1.5" in
depth....Not a fan of deep sand beds. And as to what the claim is they
ned to be placed in the sand, I have nice growths of pipe organ
thriving and being fragged regularly thats on live rock well above a
sand bed.
They are extremely delecate as yu probably already know. SOmetimes it
seems yu can just look at them and the stems / branches break off, and
my hermits even small blue leggers and my snails often do break off
polyps. I simply take those broken polyps and stick em in a hole in
live rock as they tend to get buried in sand bed since it is a single
polyp and in no time its a nice cluster po polyps.
Thats really strange........stuff they say is simple give me hassles
;-)
Well, THAT'S a rather big club :-)
