The worms are actually the hitcher even though the worms are usually the selling point of the coral. So the porites can survive without, it is the worms that rely on the porites for nutrition. Well, if the xenia doesn't make it I will bring more to the next meeting. I am tempted to just give you the whole rock as I really am not sure why I keep the xenia at all lol. Let me know how they do. All the frags I got except the blastos are doing well. The blastos don't look like they will make it. Kind of rough, I think he fragged them yesterday morning if memory serves, so fragging then trip, then sit in cooler all day, probably was too much for them. The purple digita that I got is polyps out last night and today so all is well there so far. Great meeting though huh? Have you started setting up the Nano you won? I am in the process of setting ours up so it can cycle while we decide what to do with it lol.
