I have no idea who decided to do the turkey sound effect but please tell them thanks. I just spent the better part of 2 minutes laughing. Also lords will always be a favorite coral
So great to hear you love Acan! They are such a popular Aussie coral, and locally collected to where we are situated in Australia. Thanks for leaving a friendly comment! Ania
Thank you so much Josh, we really enjoyed showcasing Gryphon to make these Frags. Usually my go to is the coral snippers but this is far more efficient :)
Thank you so much for watching Ricardo. We don’t get much time to film our work but we are so grateful To know it may help others learn :) I would love to go to Mexico one day! Ania
@@GalleryAquaticaTV I'm sure you'll enjoy México. If you ever come visit, try the Yucatán peninsula. It is full of interesting places, lot of seaside places to see and it is a very safe tourist destination. The mayan riviera is the best of all. We'll be happy to see you 🤗
Great 👍 video Ania, great 👍 joblot on the Acans, good to get your tips on fragging, noticed you put a capful of dip in with the water 💧 before you cut with the saw, I’ve only seen Jake Adams do that, why is that 🤔. 👍🏴 A follow up on their development would be appreciated, thanks 🙏 Happy New Year 🥳 to you and your family. 👍🏴
Hi John, Thank you so much for the comment. We like to add the iodine based dip to prevent potential infection from their open wounds in their tissue. It’s antibacterial properties can contribute the difference between the Frags surviving or rotting. Ania
Hey What dose rate do you use for the iodine? I follow the directions on the back of the box but it looks like you guys use heaps more. I’m just worried about over dosing but on the other hand am wondering if the recommended dose isn’t enough.
Hello, micromussa do not attack other nearby corals or the same of their species if they are nearby? Because I see that in those plugs pins several different micromusses.
These are all the same species of Micromussa - lordhowensis . We do not get a great variation of Acan collected in this region of Australia. We have found they are compatible next to a few other corals though, which does probably account for their close genetic relationship.
I bought some frags of acan, it is not Echinata, I had understood that Echinata takes fibers from their stomachs and kills nearby corals, I have even seen videos. They are going to give me acan lord, ultra and Rainbow, they are small frags of one or two heads, I have soft corals and lps and I am worried that they will attack them.
There are a lot of large micro lord colonies in your tank. Those are wild colonies? I always struggle to keep them healthy and growing in my tank. I guess they got to much light and to less nutrition in my tank.
Hi! Thanks for sharing your experience. Yes, not sure if you heard me mention a local wholesaler who collects wild corals offered us a great package deal for these. Usually we would only order 10-20 pieces at a time (not 200!!) I think regarding long term success, their health and prosperity is definitely relative to the amount of food they receive. They are found deep down thus thrive under blue lights. We like to use Vitalis LPS Pellets. Ania
Part of me cringed seeing those beautiful colonies chopped up into smaller bits. Granted more people can enjoy, but knowing how slow they tend to grow compared to other corals it was a bit heart breaking.
Hi Mike, thanks so much for sharing your opinion. I cringe seeing corals cut up too, particularly using power tools, so I understand. The reality is that (aside from identifying boring pests and removing algae etc) fragging helps fulfill issues wirh the increasing restrictions of coral quota supply and industry demand . I find once the tissue growth level hits the tile that growth is fast. But excessive feeding is imperative to promote tissue growth. Ania
Hi Chris, thank you for sharing your opinion with us. It’s pretty unique being able to witness how large colonies of corals get processed, isn’t it. The beauty of using the Gryphon bandsaw is how minimal the actual impact of each cut is. We don’t use it often but thought this large bulk buy order of wild Micro lords would be a great opportunity to show how we can clean these up for the end user. :) Ania
I would love to see one of these tiles all grown out and grafted together. Treasure tiles!
another great vid ania thanks
Cheers Mark! Happy Reefing!
Subscribed! So interested in a micromussa garden!

Hi VESA, thank you for watching! :)
Hey Ania, good to see you again. Hope you are doing well :)
Hi AJ! Going great thanks! How are you? Did you have a nice Christmas and NY? For 2022 I am Wishing I had more time to frag corals!
Ania
Hi Ania! I'm always learning from your videos. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. Greetings from México
She films all these videos in the same skirt🤯
@@robertodiazjr7666 hahaha that is very observant, I have 4 of the same skirt as the retail store is open 4 days a week 😆

@@Ricardo-dn3yn thanks! I very nearly had the opportunity to go when I visited Sam Diego for MACNA in 2016 and have regretted not going ever since.
