Duncan. I think I paid 20 bucks for a frag with 2 small heads 5 or 6 months ago. It's got at least 8 or 10 now. Hard to tell exactly because they're still pretty tightly grouped together.

I buy from a wholesaler/importer directly
Purple / green striped 2” diameter - 60
“High grade Rainbow Cynarina” - opens to 2.75”. this one was a lot, it has a glowing gold ring, purples, greens, blues. The wholesale price on this was 180
It took a while before it started self-fragging - I think it really only started early last year. If I had to guess, I think it's related to where it's positioned - it's grown itself directly into the path of my return line. When it's getting ready, one of the "lobes" will start growing out while slowly pinching off from the main cap. Eventually the pinch completes and the new frag drops down.
I think this is the start of the next frag, but it's always a little unpredictable. The whole process usually takes a week or two.

And Dwarf Hairgrass categorically refuses to attach to the back wall.

This little frammer was $35 in March 2017, brought me back to taking care of my tank... grew in spite of less than favorable conditions. Been through high nutrients, low nutrients, swinging temperatures/alk/ca.
Recent picture, total polyp head count throughout the tank is around 80 to 100, fastest grower for me. I have two other hammers that grow but this is almost invasive. It recently split in two and I rebuilt it in the current spot with the remains scattered elsewhere, but doing fine. I lose polyps occasionally but it doesn't affect the whole coral.

It's always hard to get a good pic of the blue acros. Probably 4" across after almost 1.5yrs. It's one of my favorites.
