Looking for dead montipora skeleton chunks

[CRW Reef]

I know odd but I'm looking for some dead montipora chunks. Anyone that is going to the Aquatic Art meeting happen to have and dead montipora skeletons laying around?

 

[SquidBreath]

I am sorry to say I don't have any myself, but I gotta ask...
What are you trying to do with them?

 

[WatercolorsGuy]

Do they have to be montipora sp.? I have a bunch of branching skeletons that I got with some live rock last year you could have.

 

[subpotentjoe]

i think i have a big piece of monti confusia skeleton in the sps grave yard. i will look tomorrow for you.

Ive got some type of dead plating coral, not sure if its monti or not, but its definatly a plating coral. Ill bring it to the meeting, if you want it you can have it. I also have a decent size birdnest skeleton if your interested in that as well.

 

[CRW Reef]

Sorry failed to respond earlier. I want to start growing larger xoa colonies on them. As anyone who has seen my tank knows, I do not grow or glue frags on things that aren't detachable. Never know when something needs to be fragged at a moments notice

So yes looking for larger flat Monti caps or plating corals that are dead

@josh thanks man

You got it Chad, Ill have a nice chunk for you at the meeting, you might want to remind me a day or so before the meeting, my minds all over the place these days. LOL

Cool idea!

I do this with rolled out 2 part putty. Make a sheet for them to grow on. ..just an idea.

Dead fungias work pretty well as well

Lol no kill it and share with a fellow addict with the good idea

Chad- How about this idea. You give me a frag of everything in your tank for safe keeping? LOL

Send me a pic when you do this. I would love to see how this works, sounds very intersting.

Looking for some more dead, plating montipora. If anyone has some, please let me know.

I have a 12" red cap if you want to come and get it and grow your own.

You know if I had the room Doug I def would take you up on that lol. I actually do have a red cap and idaho grape and I do knock of chunks at random but thats not enough. If you ever end up with "scrapes" you cant give away let me know


*Btw these chunks really are working great for both SPS and Zoa frag transplants allowing me to grow them into colonies with having them grow all over my rock work.

 

[sethsolomon]

I have a large dead tongue coral you can have at the next meeting if your intrested about 1ft long and 2 inches wide

 

[Dr.DiSilicate]

I could make ya some really thin ceramic pieces that'd work? I need to make some for myself and think I owe Doug some too.
