Info

Siphonodictyon coralliphagum (Rützler, 1971)

Note from Prof. Dr. Christine H. L. Schönberg:
Siphonodictyon sea sponges are not suitable for aquariums because they secrete chemicals that inhibit cell growth in corals.
If such sponges do get into an aquarium, please place them far away from corals.

am 17.11.15#1
Ende April 2015 kaufte ich eine Blastomussa merleti.
Da sich diese Koralle sehr gut zur Vermehrung eignet habe ich die einzelnen Polypen voneinander getrennt.
Nach dem Trennen konnte man an den einzelnen Skeletten einige gelbe Stellen erkennen.

Als ich dann die einzelnen Teile als Ableger vorbereitet habe stellte ich fest, daß der Kalk stellenweise stark abgebaut war.

Um die Koralle zu heilen, habe ich die Schwämme zunächst mechanisch von dem Schwamm entfernt.

Danach habe ich die Korallen so aufgeklebt, daß sämtliche Schwammlöcher mit Korallenkleber verschlossen wurden.

Ich meine, daß die Ableger jetzt (zwei Wochen nach der Behandlung) besser stehen und sich gut entwickeln.

Siehe hierzu meine Bilder.
