Bought some new frags, need 1 ID of them

philipchan · 09/08/2009, 05:08 PM

Bought 3 pieces of frags last week
(sorry for the crappy cell phone pics)

1 is Superman montipora (2 inchs long)
1 is Australian Acan (1and 1/2 " long)
1 is Unknown coral (LPS?) (a Frag plug size)[need ID, the one on the right in the first pic)

I got these frags from a LFS, and I know this guy pretty well , he said just buy them.
The superman was in bad shape, he said a customer brought back, it was totally brown out, only a tiny bit blue part healing. After a few days, it actually getting more and more blue part back, and this frag only cost me $12

, also the unknown one was in bad shape, loosing some of them, bought it for $10. i cab tell is healing also, at least the polys eat with I feed and they looks good now ^^(But need ID on it)
Bought that Acan for $28 about 5and 1/2 heads on it.
Not sure if it is a good price

Please ID the right frag piece for me (the purple with green mouth)

How do you set your frags? I know they come on a lil stand or mount do you take them off of that?

philipchan · 09/08/2009, 05:51 PM

some I set the stand in the holds and some I just cut the bottom stand part and place them on the rocks using some glue

Saltdog813 · 09/08/2009, 05:59 PM

now with that being said do you have to take a piece of LR out of the tank place the frag then glue them? What type of glue is safe?

philipchan · 09/08/2009, 06:04 PM

I don't take out a piece of LR...coz as you see my tank is so full
I use the underwater glue, with is perfect for me.
But a lot of people use the super glue with is cheaper and stronger

The purple with green mouth coral looks to be a Favia. Its hard to tell how much space you have between it and the acan but the Favia will send out sweepers if they are to close (learned from experience).

Thanks!!!
the Acan and the Favia has about 1/2 inch+ distance , will that be ok?

How much does a superman (2") frag and a Favia frag normally goes?

Palancarpets · 09/08/2009, 06:47 PM

I would put at least 2 inches minimum between the two. As for the price can't help on that, but it sounds like you got a good deal on them.
