Any idea why it is called a Superman ?

Because of the red undies.

 

[Rory]

Hmmm define available... They're "available" as in yes some people have found them at shops and do have them. They're not that available as in your chances of finding one when walking into an LFS is like less than 1 in 100...

Because of the red undies.

An amazing deduction of pure logic

 

[Shaun]

So does anybody have one?

 

[seank]

[Mekaeel]

Make some thing out of Pratley Putty, so it has no holes for the nudi's to hide in and then get a piece to grow on it. Do you have this one, if not we must talk.

 

[Mekaeel]

nope havent got thalion.mines is currently very small though as most of it was damaged

 

[Shaun]

Still think you should frag it.

I moved my "superman" monti, to try stop these vermin snails from webbing over the coral.

I now notice there is a different colour (on the left of the pic) looks almost green.

Is this the same coral, different colour due to light or what ?

 

[Mekaeel]

Could be light,flow or maybe Nudis that could have damaged it. I've got a piece in my tank which i though was beyond repairs,but is slowly recovering.

Do you mean on the left?

 

[Warr7207]

Do you mean on the left?

Yip, sorry don't know my left from my right

Difficult to say, to me it looks like there's a slight shade of green on the centre bottom piece of the brown monti as well, could possibly be changing to green, best to watch it for a couple of weeks and see what happens.
