monti

so my friend was getting rid of his tank and he gave me a very large frogspawn and another coral of his. He didnt know what it was but I can tell it is some type of encrusting montipora... The frogspawn is doing great (so great that it actually killed one of my previous frogspawn frags in a matter of a few hours!!!)
But as for the monti, I have not seen the polyps out once since I put it in (over 24 hrs ago) except for under my moonlights a single polyp was barely visible, but not extended...

Does anyone have any suggestions as to whats going on here? I was under the impression that monti's were fairly hardy

 

do you have a pic?

 

thay are hardy
just give it time the polys well come out soon

 

As stated, they are fairly hardy, it may take a few weeks to see the polyps come out. Also, a frogspawn will not kill another frogspawn, members of that family, including torches and hammers, can be placed right next to each other without them stinging each other. You may want to investigate to determine if it was something else that killed your frag.

 

well i am up at my house at college now... and my camera is 2 hours away so im sorry, no pictures.

 

im almost positive my frag was killed by the new frogspawn. the new one had its sweepers out last night...
guess i put them a few inches too close

 

the frogspawn did not kill the other frogspawn. They can't, they are not equipped to do so. Euphyllia will not kill euphyllia. (the only difference is a torch can kill the others)

 

I meant to say "not kill." As Dan said, members of Euphyllia will not harm each other.

 

hmmm interesting... well im not too worried about the frogspawn, but i am more worried about the montipora
thank you all for any help though
