Yaaaaaaay!!!! Fantastic! I'd love to see photos if you have any. There's a monstrous thread on Reef Central where everyone posts their rescues too.]]> Wed, 18 Feb 2015 16:30:20 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=74827&PID=584483&title=fragged-scoly#584483 <![CDATA[Fragged Scoly : ReefdUp wrote:Aw, thanks!...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=74827&PID=584452&title=fragged-scoly#584452 Author: neurotivity

Upon reading your article, I happened to use your triple dip recovery method on a rainbow blasto frag which was melting/detaching from the skeleton. I'm completely shocked with how much the blastos have recovered already. I can honestly say that they're more inflated now and look significantly healthier than they were once I first got them.

Thanks again for sharing your article! I'm beyond ecstatic that the blastos which I initially thought were undoubtedly going to perish, are now on their road to recovery.

Neat articles! @ReefdUp, I'm quite impressed, I wouldn't have ever thought that your success in rescuing the scoly would've been possible upon seeing it!]]> Fri, 13 Feb 2015 22:22:14 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=74827&PID=584077&title=fragged-scoly#584077 <![CDATA[Fragged Scoly : I try not to inundate you all...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=74827&PID=584040&title=fragged-scoly#584040 Author: ReefdUp

I try not to inundate you all with my blog, but here's a Scoly I rescued to show its recovery over a year:

Here is a good thread on it (http://www.reef2reef.com/forums/unique-corals/133327-experiment-worked.html) not sure if links are allowed so mods remove or let me know and I will if needed. Page three has some updated shots. Personally I would never do it to a perfectly good/healthy scoly but I could see doing it to a damaged one/sick one to try to save it.]]> Fri, 13 Feb 2015 13:57:31 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=74827&PID=584005&title=fragged-scoly#584005 <![CDATA[Fragged Scoly : The grated ones are very unattractive...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=74827&PID=584003&title=fragged-scoly#584003 Author: Molli

All of the grafted ones I've seen long term just turn into separate attched scolys. They never (IME) uptake the zooxanthallae of each other or truly become "one" with each other. That process usually takes about 4 years though.

I would buy a fragged scoly. Wouldn't buy a "grafted" one because they aren't true grafts.]]> Fri, 13 Feb 2015 13:15:40 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=74827&PID=584001&title=fragged-scoly#584001 <![CDATA[Fragged Scoly : They can be fragged but do take...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=74827&PID=583989&title=fragged-scoly#583989 Author: Krazie4Acans

They can be fragged but do take a very long time to heal and grow out. One of the newer trends is grafting scoly's Here are some pictures I borrowed from google images of some grafted ones.





There were some at the Reef Fest this year with 4 different colors grafted together like pies.

Interesting. I just assumed it was fragged due to the shape and the location of the mouth. I've only ever heard of people fragging scoly's for grafting purposes.

I assume it's circular skeletal structure would almost need to be there for it to regain the shape. Correct?


Well according to reedup above she has seen fragged scolys. I would think that they would end up round again since that seems to be their natural growth pattern but don't know for sure. Its funny i have read such contradicting info but i completely trust reedup's response. I have even read a couple of detailed articles about scolys and how you cannot frag them BUT that if a scoly appears to have died in your tank to leave the skeleton in the tank because the skeleton might produce babies and might continue to do so. Now i wonder if that is alsp BS.
