Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Fungia fungites are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Fungia fungites, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Fungia fungites, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

Von einem befreundeten Aquarianer bekam ich einen augenscheinlich abgestorbenen, großgliederigen Korallenast der mit blauen Scheibenannemonen bewachsen war. Ich legte ihn in eine Mulde der Riffrückwand ab um die Scheibenanemonen dort anzusiedeln. Die Scheibenanemonen suchten sich an der Rückwnd einen neuen Platz und er Korallenast lag nun verweist in dieser Mulde, bis ich eines Tages bemerkte das an einem Endstück etwas wuchs. Nach 2 Monaten sah man ein Kreisförmiges weiß-lilafarbiges
rundes Etwas wachsen. Was da raus wuchs, war eine Fungia fungites. Nachdem sie ca 5 - 6 cm Durchmesser erreicht hatte löste sie sich vom Ast und viel herunter. Sie hat mittlerweile einen Durchmesser von ca. 15cm . Zu meinem erstaunen bildete sich auf dem Stock ein neuer Ableger der im Moment einen Durchmesser von ca. 2cm hat. Ich habe festgestellt das pro Jahr eine Fungia wächst.
Wer mehr darüber wissen möchte oder Bilder davon sehen möchte kann mich gerne im Aquabilderbuch kontaktieren. Ich konnte es kaum glauben, aber es gibt immer wieder neue aufregende Dinge in einem Merrwasserbecken zu bestaunen.
