Flowerpot...Yeah I Know

[reeffreak]

Back in 2001 I began my journey into reef keepings(and thousands and thousands of $$$$ poorer).I did my reseach to make sure I knew as much as possible about this hobby of ours..

One day I went to the LFS and saw this beautiful LPS....yes a flowerpot.I heard they notorious difficult to keep long term,but I had to have it,around 2 years later I started noticing small white balls on it.I didn't know what it was at the time then a week later it fell to sand,when the lights came on I notice it was a minituare of momma.For the next year it would do this about 10 times a a month.When they became finger nail size(the calcium base)I brought them back to LPS for store credit...boy that me me out supplies.They were very surprise and sold them to customers for their nano reefs.

Has anybody else a similiar results?{I know this isn't the place for it,but I couldn't find another place for it}

I tried but it still didn't work..maybe it doesn't support jpeg?

You can still check them out in my photo gallery or under Photo gallery(tank pictures)

The first image is of my tank 2 years old..second is at one year old and third is of the flowerpot

colt and toadstool grows like crazy and wine glass full of young pots in the first image

ive had my frog spawn do that a couple times but something has either buried the babies in the sand or come around and ate it or pushed it to a place that they cant grow

Wow I have a frogspawn too....It didn't reproduce that way just kept branching>Started with 3 or 4 branches then 8 or so later on
I have seen smaller branches near the base but I assumed thats where a new branch would begin.

 

[JellyMan]

My frog doesnt do that either it branches off as well.

If it happens again maybe you can put a short drinking glass filled halfway up with sand to keep them from blowing away
