Australomussa question (pic included)

[BioMan]

I thought this was a chalice but after its feeder tentacles came out I looked it up and found out I know nothing about it and live aquaria says med to low lighting. Anybody keep one of these

 

[lnevo]

I would like to lemme know when you frag it!

 

[dubs]

this look like something i should have in my tank when is fragging season

 

[BioMan]

Lol I'm watching this like a Hawk to make sure I don't bleach it so unfortunately frags are not in the forecast just yet. ...

I have red gold australomussa and put them under kessil lightings bout 2ft from the light in my 12gal tank and its doing great even after i frag them the heal process took sooner than i thought and now already a month after i cut it showed 2tiny eyes with totally different color( green-gold rimmed )

I've been spot feeding mine and he's not a fast grower. I'm wondering if this species encrusts or inflates I've got no idea.

 

[Reeftaker2013]

It growths from the skeleton not encrusting the rock (like normally we see in montipora). This species very similiar growth with symphyllia and lobophyllia,

That is a great looking one! Best of luck!

I'm not a fragger so I won't attempt it. If somebody with experience and reputation ( see "Dubs" or "Cmantis" , haven't met either one yet but they're notorious) would help then I'd share the wealth.

 

[rookie07]

Nooooo!!!!
Keep it whole and grow it out!

actually Im in the process of moving and removed him from my main dispaly tank to my secret stash and he's been getting more fuller and active at feeding time. More eyes forming. Not sure if its the Lighting (T5 to Kessil) Temp (76 to 80) or the fact hes got a red macro algae bush growing right next to him and thats givign him some sort of happy feeling.
