I tried making a few mini icebergs for my system just to add some realism, but the bases kept slamming into my corals and broke them.
I guess I'll sell those frags. |

You might add one of those antarctic reef fish, notatheniods, that has antifreeze in it blood. It will swim in and out and may perch on your corals. Just keep the tank temp near zero. Might have to get a bigger chiller.

Actually, I've started thinking that I got fleeced. Before too long they started turning pink and this weird fuzzy green. I've heard that unscrupulous vendors would bleach out anemones then dye them -- now it seems they're doing similar things to corals and selling them as "antarctic."
Next thing you know, we'll find out that Japanese corals aren't from Japan or LE corals really aren't limited at all... but what are the odds of that, really? Oh, and they haven't grown a bit.

Argh. I wish I'd jumped on this when it was first posted. Now I can't afford to get on board. I've heard AEFW don't survive on these corals. Seems like the perfect kind for me to keep. |

Oh my god I needed this. Made my day!
Has anyone considered using the dishwasher to keep their "arctic" frags clean? HAHAHAHA

Perhaps. I prefer just to store them in dry ice for a few days, or a 30-minute liquid nitrogen/lugol's bath to remove any AEFW. I've tinkered around with the idea of putting a Freon reactor on my tank. Do you think a Phosban reactor filled with bioballs would work?

I found a picture of an artic reef in the wild. Norice the tangs with their summer colors. They turn white when winter approaches.

One of my friends just found out that all his LE corals were Antarctic corals! Everything was colored up just as he paid for from the pictures of WYSIWYG and then just a few days ago the color (dye) washed off, reveling their true origin. I tell you, the look on his face when I told him his good fortune is one to remember!

Brought back 2009's Aprils Fools thread
Any posts on any "growth" of these frags? Still storing in the fridge?
