Who knows maybe someday I'll feel froggy and buy myself a tiny frag in a big plug and see if I can keep it from dying, but I'm uber paranoid and have a feeling as soon as i put corals in they'll melt :face-with-tears-of-joy:

Seriously though, that's awesome! I always thought sps grew slowly, but I often seen 1 year shots of them and they are fairly big. Am I mistaken?
 
I heard that if a human was the same as a mantis shrimp, they could throw a football into outer space with the same punch reaction.
If i trained more I think I could do that
