Hi ... it is a Clavularia. There is well-known over 40 different Subsperies of the Clavularia. It is not Xeniea, those trains no Stolon.

hey heinz, we now know its clauvaria, but the issue at hand is the sponge killing it

upps ... sorry.

yepp... that can become a problem. clavularias cannot move itself as xenia, it possess a Stolon grown together firmly. If a sponge grows over the Stolon you can do unfortunately nothing against it.

A very strong current could be helpful. Clavularia love strong current. Sponges however not.

So, they were almost all gone by the time I got home from work yesterday.....And on top of that, I couldnt frag them off. The mat was sooo thin, if I did get them, I dont think that the polyps would have lived. So, now I have this empty hole....sigh, I guess that this thread has come to an end...Im sorry to everybody that had their hopes up, cuz I did too, im sorry that I couldnt come through for ya'll.

maybe next time....

Fresh water dip the rock. That could kill the sponge and the coral could rebound! Remember a lot of corals melt down to nothing but begin growing from a small stub later!

I have somebody that took them that is gonna try to save what he can....but thats about it.....Im not home ALL the time so I can watch them like I need to

BigAl07 · 09-21-2007, 11:46 AM

Oh MAN! Woodie I didn't even think of the FW dip

*slaps forehead repeatedly hard*

I've got to remember that technnique. I have a case of Brown Jelly last week and would have tried it had I been home but in a matter of hours it was gone. FW Dips... grrrrrrr

good luck Daniel! Maybe they will recover yet buddy!!
