Pipe organ coral

[danzig]

does anyone have one of these? I just saw a nice size colony somewhere with about 20 tubes/polyps and was amazed. Looks liek a bamboo jungle. Anyways if anyone has any of these, fill me in on tips for care and anything you have to share. Also, if you have some for sale let me know!

Mine grow like crazy!! I've sold some back to lfs, just be careful when removing any from rock and transplanting. I like them, interesting, but not the most flashy resident in the tank.

I had a huge one.It was probably 10-12 inches tall.It was one of my first corals.
I pulled it out to frag off the bottom as it was way too top heavy and it ended up dying over the next few weeks.
Here's a picture.

They are very common. Almost every store has one.

Unique aquaria has one, but its overpriced. (I was there on saturday)

I will. Its just that I moved 3 times in the past 7 years, so I still have piles of boxes in storage.

I had a simple set up and it worked great. I went with the KISS principle. Keep it simple and stupid. No UV, and no RO. I had a nice refugium/sump. The refugium had over 20lbs of live rocks and every single square inch was covered with plants. I never understood why people only put too little handfuls of plants in their refugiums/sumps, when they are so important. I also didnt divide it with plastic as I feel that this is not necessary and a waste of space. I did not get bubbles in the tank.
I also had a couple of canister filters that I would clean regularly.
