5 or 6 here. I'd have to get em to close up to see if the new ones opened yet. Definite 5 though.

5 open, 1 growing. I just added a skimmer. What is everyone using? I started using red sea a&b. I'm also going to start using coral colors and reef chili

3 here. Started with 1. Can see the little ones off to the sides. Had to move to get a pic and they closed but the polyps are visible.

That's a recent development. I need to try cutting the plug to flatten it out and mount it to rubble.

Currently at 5 total. Picture taking skills still terrible. Had a little outbreak of hair algae in the last couple of weeks.

I have been using a homemade macro algae reactor to combat green hair and it has been working well.

2 polyps still, crappy picture because I'm currently running lights out to try to control a cyano outbreak. Cut them off the original plug and glued them to a piece of dry rock

Same here. I think my issue is I took too much out at once when I cleaned it. At least thats my theory. I don't feed any more than I was... if anything less.

Here's my photo! Three open polyps and two nubs

 

[sassAwrasse]

Last day to get your photos in to stay in the competition..

6 in picture but 7 in total I'll have to move the frag over slightly to get the 7th to open back up for next month.
