Coral Cutting

I have a leather cutting that I got from the last seminar that is doing well, it has attached to the rock and has grown quite a bit in the last 2 months, I cant wait for this thing to mature.  It has the coolest green polyps under my actinics, especialy in the morning.

My question is about the brial vail netting that was used to hold the cutting in place.  Should I remove it now?

You will have to cut the bv from around the coral leaving some inside the animal! Depending on the compatibility of the rock it was placed on, the bv could have been removed at 4-8 days and by 2 months the "head" would already have formed to make it look "mature"! Sorry they didn't tell you this at the meeting.

I use an elastic crossed over in the middle of the cutting to hold it in place on four points. When the coral has grown around the elastic, it has also attached to the rock. Then just snip the elastic on one side next to the coral and pull it out from the other side!

jenjardu,

I would leave the bridal veil unless it is bugging you.  If you don't like the look then do as Mark metioned above.,
