disappearing /reappearing coral frag
« on: June 13, 2009, 15:31:59 »
The other day I noticed a small frag of blue tipped stag had been knocked loose from it's mounting spot.  I searched the tank over with no signs of it what so ever.  Two days later I was checking the tank and in the middle on the tank in the gravel bed there layed the frag.  Go figure.  Those darn snails can be a real pain sometimes.  cant figure how it ended up where it did.

I've lost/found many frags like that.  I think the most crazy case was when a frag of my favorite coral dropped to the back of the tank.  I searched EVERYWHERE.  I finally found it two weeks later buried in the sand (it was SPS), and it was still alive.  Crazy.

Do you have any urchins in the tank?

No urchins.  Just snails and a few hermits.  I thought that it would make yinyang happy that I wouldnt ask him for another frag of it so he wouldnt have to chop his up ::)
