DBTC: Sunkist Bounce Mushroom

[Fish Boss]

They are very cool shrooms thats for sure! I’d like to get one one day, whether from a swap or dbtc

When another one grows onto a convenient spot I'll cut one for you, right now they're all inaccessible

It seems like Raj should have one available now since tribbitt gave his back.

Do you have mushrooms at the moment?

I have a tequila sunrise right now, its doing great! Always super extended, one day it was a bit unhappy and small towards the end of the day, but other than that, its been looking phenomenal

it was, uh, pretty roughly fragged. Might take a little bit for it to heal up

Didn't have a bandsaw like I sometimes do so I made do with a razor blade

You bandsaw mushrooms?

 

[tribbitt]

When they’re scattered over a small rock, and I have a bandsaw ready, yeah

 

[Raj Gill]

You bandsaw mushrooms?

This is why we lost so many fragging up the original rock with 10+ shrooms. I have a dremel with a diamond wheel now that I can carefully carve the rock away to extract mushrooms. But yea I will have 2-3 frags available soon when they heal up, month or 2 tops

 

[tribbitt]

We gave the shrooms a wide wide berth and didn’t actually nick them. What I think might have killed them was

1) aiptasia stings and aiptasia treatments, because the rock was covered and

2) the water Raj took them home in got gross and silty from the rock powder.

Next time putting them in clean water and give rest time before treatments is probably better practice

Yea I just recently with berghia got my tanks cleared up form all the aiptasia that came with the bounces. Nothing in life is free lol

If you don't have one yet, I just discovered a handful of babies near the base of mine. I separated one out with your name on it.

Already has bubbles and it's not even 1/4" across - I can grow it a little bigger before transfer

Out of the 10 or so you guys took how many made it?

I was only there for the cutting. Took the potato-shaped rock and cut under each shroom. Raj took them home after that

The ones I have aren't a part of the chain - I guess I could join, but they're going to be distributed here and there (or at events) rather than searching for takers. School's getting busy recently so organizing extra meetups doesn't fit in my schedule

I've been thinking about this a bit over the weekend and will chat with @derek_SR about how we want DBTC to work with regards to chain creator's rules vs. program rules. Also, a reminder to all members to pass things on only when the recipients meet the chain creator's rules. Note #5 by @Baykes :

"This is a new rule for this DBTC, in order to receive a frag, you must have had participated in the clubs DBTC program by (1) having started a DBTC of your own or (2) have participated in and have given back twice in other DBTC chains."

@Raj Gill technically shouldn't have received the shrooms in the first place and still needs a tank journal to qualify for most DBTCs. (Please create one when you get a chance!) Same goes for the next link @N2Nano Reefing 408 .

Also it's probably a good idea in the future for other new hobbyists to attend a fragging workshop before attempting to cut corals intended to be passed on to others. Clearly mistakes were made, and I'm guessing with the lack of updates, they're probably not in good shape still.

We're ultimately the stewards of the animals we keep and the goal of the club (and DBTC) is education and ethical propagation of marine life, not just free corals. Albeit, there are often tons of non-DBTC items up for grabs for beginners to test out too before they attempt any chains

 

[Mr. Seahorse]

Super cool! It's great to see all these DBTC chains!

 

[Mr. Seahorse]

Can I get a frag when they are available?

 

[Mr. Seahorse]

I would like a frag of this one.

@ryanraff, @markovkaa, @reef89, @Qwiv, @FreahSaltyGuy, @Max Nano Justin, @Lullaby, @Mr. Seahorse, have requested a frag.

@Raj Gill said at the CFM he should have 3 ready soon. Can contact him to arrange pickup.

Thank you! Just have to find some takers for my DBTC to qualify first lol

just have a tank journal and be active is usually good enough.
