The rock it's glued into had a perfect sized vertical shaft through it. I cut a hole through the chunk of Marco shelf rock that's on top, so fish can swim from the top of the tower down through the bottom of the structure.
 
That is a baby plate that I’ve been growing out until it’s a sellable size. It’s roughly 1” across and is ready to go. Its…pricey…

Coral Collectors Insanity Plate - they charge 800-900 for a 3/4” - 1” baby

I got mama as a 1/2” baby…maybe 3/4” tops. She’s just over 3” now

Mama

If anyones interested in the baby…it’s probably worth $900 now if sold directly from Coral Collectors…a ton. I know. I would offer for 50% off what they charge. I know that’s still a lot but it’s worth a lot and any lower and I’m really selling myself short when I could just put it on the market and sell for 500-600. But I hate dealing with market. So if anyone is interested just let me know, $450 and it’s yours.
Stop freaking posting this picture you are disturbing me!!

Hey you know what I just realized. Literally. For real just realized

This baby somehow has a yellow mouth. I’ve never seen this before and it’s not on mama…I’m kinda taken back. I never ever saw an insanity plate with a yellow mouth

Look how crazy this guy is. Most people would charge more. But not me. In fact since your in GA. I’ll take 50 off. 995 coral with a rare variant mouth color unheard of - 400

Right there in blues and day spectrum. No tricks here

Plate corals grow larger by making a skeletal base that grows along the surface they sit on. Most put them on the ground and grow flat plates. Not me. I put on a plug to elevate and find they encrust and grow over the plug and then down along towards the ground. Leave it on this stand and you will have a volcano shaped plate instead of a flat one ;)

Maybe I should brand these.
