bubble coral with bubble coral

[johnski]

are bubble corals ( plerogyra sinuosa ) non-aggressive with other plerogyra sinuosa , like frogspawn and hammer of the euphyllia species. i've already got a white plerogyra sinuosa but quite fancy a green one as well

[Mandarin Dragonet]

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe you could find out for us :)

[Mandarin Dragonet]

funnily enough I asked that yesterday about white bubble and green bubble on reef central

[Eddie S]

i think i read that you can mix them with no problems, was in a PFK article a while ago.

i have tried , the only info i can find on the net is how aggressive they are with other corals

Eddie,
when mandarin dragonet said he asked the question on rc, i had a look and seen that the question was posted by a user named uploadead , thats why i thought he was uploadead on rc, but it seems hes not

[Mandarin Dragonet]

I'm still confused on that bubble coral vs bubble coral, although people have two morphs of trumpet corals together, so the answer must be no. although chalice corals get at eachother...... OK IM REALLY CONFUSED! Maybe if you hit it and shout "No!" it may obey.

Aha - found it

PFK - Marine Fishkeeping supplement - James Fatherree Date unknown approx 2004

Page 20 Cultivating Bubbles

"There is an exception, though. While they can burn other corals up, they don't seem to mind each other. So you can place any number of bubble corals in direct contact with each other - even when they have very different looking bubbles."

hope that helps.

Thanks Eddie, appreciated , the hunt for a green bubble begins

[Mandarin Dragonet]

There's one on ebay, but its 35 + 15 shipping. not for me, and its not even that green , cream maybe.

[johnski]

yea, seen that one, came to the same conclusion as you

Hi Johnski,

I've got 3 large bubbles in the tank - 2 different next to one another with no problems at all ;)
