Wild caught corallimorphs to mass tank breeding.
An area of fluffies I found some years ago that a few of the guys know of now of the corallimorpharia group or just the discosomain are extremely common in the southeast of Q, some times we see them in patches bigger then my house block.
These ones are sort of special in that they have a nice silver sheen to them in a star shape over a cream to green background, so they are not great but still quite nice.
Two months back I cut off a section of one, as we used to do with the propagating of other colours in the past.
It was just as a bit of mucking around to see if it will propagate from that piece in my tank.
There are 7 mature ones now and around 30 tiny new ones, it seems they do well.
I know corallimorphs are easy to get to multiply I used to breed the red and green ones, but the silver sheen ones out of all this part of Q and I have looked around most of our area, are not so common, there is one patch only that I have seen of them.
I personally think it’s the high nutrient area they live in that encourages them to take on that sheen.
They will cover my glass floor area that is semi bare due to being anti substrate.
