ORA red planet, and plum crazy growth

[clownfool]

I was wondering if anyone knew if the red planet or plum crazy are very fast growers?

[ooja3k]

My red planet growns pretty darn fast... its still young, but its doing really well..

I have a red planet frag promised to me at a swap in 2 weeks and was just wondering what kindof light and flow this coral will need? I am running t5s and wasnt sure how high up to place it?
Thanks
Jeff

Good question!!! I am getting mine tomorrow, so I would like to know also

[eep013]

I hope to get one soon, so I'm curious as well.

I will say, the other table acros in my collection do best under high light with strong flow. Hopefully someone with an actual red planet will reply...

[ooja3k]

I have mine in high light and high flow and its super colored and fuzzy!

My red planet grows pretty good for me. High light and high flow.

Mine hasnt done much but encrust yet, but AFAIK its a A. Millepora right? so should be pretty easy. I also think I got the smallest frag in the world.

I hear you on the small frag. I went to buy one from a LFS having a sale, but the only one they had was pretty tiny.........................ended up getting a purple plasma instead. Guess I will just have to wait.

my local store had it under 400 w 20k's so i put it up high with my 250's. average flow

My plum crazy grows faster than my planet. Also it has turned an ice blue, Its not purple anymore.

...high light , high flow. They are pretty small considering ORA claims on their site:
"ORA coral frags (fragments) are well encrusted to the base on which they are grown. They are never sold until they are fully matured as individual coral colonies"
I will give them the encrusting part :)

[AB-Bug]

[docalatamu]

Mine is still purple but has developed an ice blue coralite. And it grows very fast!

I won't even give them that every time... my Plasma had a few mm of encrustation... was able to just pull it out of the hole in the plug

eh... still some very sexy corals IMO
