different between 2 GRN slimmer?

[tamarindthai]

i had two of this frags
this one from tyree said Bali slimmer,,structure little different and slow grow color more green than yellow,, less slim

and this one also said Bali slimmer last piece from my old tank,grow very fast,cloor more yellow than green.more slim

both of them next to each other onder the same light..,
can anyone see the different between this two.

Clearly one is older and more developed than the other

Hey Dang!

In my experience this is can all be due to differences in the originating and current environment. Despite being from the same original colony, or from diff colinies but the same coral genus; you may experience differences when the tanks they came from had different balances.

For example: If one frag goes from a High Light, "higher" dissolved nutrient, moderate flow tank it will likely have developed a high Zooaxanthella population to feed the coral relying less on the polyps filter feeding.

If another frag of the same original colony or genus came from a Medium light, low dissoved nutrient, high flow, highly fed tank the result could be a lower reliance on Zooxanthella utilizing the polyps more heavily for feeding.

Upon either coral entering your tank the balance will shift resulting potentiall in a diff growth or coloration rate.

I myself experienced a difference in growth rates of the same genus because one frag came from a high flow tank requiring it to grow thick sturday branches while the other was from lower flow and was thin. When entering my high energy tank the thinner branching coral spent allot of time "bulking up" while the other grw like gangbusters up and out.

That totally makes sense!

one is rounded tip and the other one is not.

 

[tamarindthai]

they are side by side had been grown together under the same light and the same flow for the past 7 months in frag tank,,will see how they looks when they getting bigger for sure,,

 

[jlehigh]

From that pic Dang the smaller is looking more like a
humilus not a stag..

 

[tamarindthai]

oh oh!never throught of that i think you right ,,when i got it so small frag i won on raffle,,no wonder less slime and slower grow than the one next to it,,thanks for pointing out.

 

[tamarindthai]

tracking back to the original owner,,it is not the humilus ,,it is org bali green slimmer,,again will see when they are getting bigger.

closer microscopic identification needed...... will send carrier to pick them up tomorrow, dang
..lol maybe they will due better in (My) the scientific tank....lol
