yellow candy cane - Page 5

The good thing about most of these species is that they have a sort of "shell" if you will, to protect them, if the predator manages to only remove part of this protective shell, some of the specimen is still recoverable, so they do have a good chance of surviving in some more harsh environments, but the owner needs to be ready for an emergency fragging if they come across a predator.

Lets just say I've done a little research on these wonderful canes

As Sargent Preston of the Yukon used to say at the end of his movie each week on TV, ----THIS CASE IS CLOSED!! LMAO

found this rare color morph today. i fragged it from a colony of 12 heads. i left the others where they were to let it recover.

Montanareefer · 01-01-2004, 08:16 PM

Wow Wit! I have heard of how there was such a high price on blue zoanthids but to have a frag of that awesome blue cane would out do the blue tort sps coral by a mile!

NaH2O · 01-01-2004, 08:22 PM

Wow, Wit, quite a discovery!! I will be interested in how well this one does in captivity.

However, I'm concerned about a problem....ummmm, Wit? I think you are the only one that can handle this one:

Witfull · 01-01-2004, 08:30 PM

looks like that one is "needeep" in trouble...lol

Witfull · 01-01-2004, 08:46 PM

i have to appologise to everyone...i with held some info from you. not only do i have the elusive Yellow Cane, but i have captured it in the act of mating, the survivability of this species is sure to continue!!

Montanareefer · 01-01-2004, 08:49 PM

So Wit they must release a sperm type fluid or is that a transparent slime coating that protects them while in the act? Interesting study I see here!

lmao

blueoceandiver · 01-01-2004, 09:05 PM

please be forwarned these types of canes cannot coexist with certian fish.they seem to be an irresistable treat,and are devoured quite fast.keep them in a separate tank to be safe......

mnreefman · 01-01-2004, 09:17 PM

k i hadnt checked on this thread for while and i walked into this.....

what a group we got here...

Witfull · 01-01-2004, 09:41 PM

from a secret deep water lab - mass breeding of multi-colored canes. this thereby dispells the believe of separate species of canes, but all are merely color morphs!!

Witfull · 01-01-2004, 09:43 PM

but even in these deep waters there are many predators, the mass breeding attacted this big-eyed shark.

Witfull · 01-01-2004, 09:45 PM

and off he goes with a tasty morsel we would surely love to have....the elusive Yellow Morph Cane!!
