yellow candy cane - Page 3

So Nikki I take it that RTN sets in at a very high speed. So what are the main causes to this happening?

I have heard that this disease comes from some type of mouth/tongue contact by a very large predator that at times is very sneaky and hard to trace it once the damage is done!

Had to give ya some karma Nikki as this is way to much fun!

The juvenile Homo sapiens seeks out the high sugar content of this coral. They find it palatable and irresistable, however, anyone keeping these juveniles should be aware that the nutritional content of said coral is very low. They would need supplemental feedings.

Actually, Johnny, in the younger stages it is quite easy to determine which juvenile inflicted the damage. There will be traces of the coral on the face and hands. Try not to be fooled by the innocent expression when asked, "what happened?".

LOL...karma back at ya

Wow......Nikki next time a squirrel ends up at my house I'm sending it your way...
This is hilarious.

Nick,

No problem...I can handle your rabid squirrel. Look at what I had to wrestle in order to save one of my precious Candy Cane Corals....

You're killing me here guys. I'm on the phone with a client trying not to laugh out loud.

Gina · 12-31-2003, 12:03 PM

OMG Nikki!
I hope you weren't torn from limb to limb in trying to save the coral. These must be very rare and special corals to risk your life for! I am so happy you are saving one for us! Be careful when protecting your canes we don't want to loose you.

Karma!!!!!!!!!

Montanareefer · 12-31-2003, 12:13 PM

So that is what the predator looks like! A very rare sighting indeed! Sort of resembles a very unusual anenome of some sort and mouth is unusual shape and it has eyes!!! Wow! Even has the ability to come out of water!! That really bothers me!!

Gina · 12-31-2003, 12:17 PM

What size tank does that live in? And, what steps are you taking to protect your other fish, corals and family?

mwrager · 12-31-2003, 12:41 PM

You are too much Nikki!!

Montanareefer · 12-31-2003, 01:08 PM

It is cool when your on a great forum and come across a thread like this and can go on and on and it can be alot of fun to see where it will go!

I gave karma to everyone involved in this thread! Awesome!

NaH2O · 12-31-2003, 03:08 PM

I am highly trained in handling this creature. I came away unscathed from our battle, however, trying to wrestle the candy cane away from the young human was a different story!

Karma to everyone!

fidojoe · 12-31-2003, 05:38 PM

Nikki, you're a riot! I was laughing so hard that I flipped back in my chair and almost broke it

Still ROFLMAO

I gotta give you major props, you are tooooooooo funny

fidojoe · 12-31-2003, 05:40 PM

BTW, Nikki, do you have any frags left? How well will the yellow strain do under my 110w PC's?

blueoceandiver · 12-31-2003, 05:58 PM

well i just contacted the gov. about putting this cane on the endangered species list and they agree it should be due to its rarity.they would like a sample due to the fact this coral has never been seen before , so they will be in touch,.....is that the door ?????????.......man this is fun....
