The "Helltroll" has always been a fast grower and that's why I had been pushing for this one for a couple years. Needless to say I was thrilled when he got chosen for one of the 2023 grow outs! And boy did you guys take this coral downtown!
It wasn't too long into it that I think we all had a pretty good idea on who was going to end up in the top 5 at least. Some of you guys frags hit the tank running and did'nt skip a beat while sadly a few did the exact opposite. And what can I say, other than "that's sps". It sucks sometimes but there in lies the challenge.
So, here we are. This is the last of the 2023 grow out trifecta and these finalists are insane! You guys just never cease to impress us all.
Before this thing gets any more wordy, let's just go for it.
In 3rd with a fantastic looking specimen. Color is amazing and I think if we had a few more months you'd be triple in size. But still a well deserved place in this grow out! Excellent work my friend.
3rd goes to @penguinexdeus congrats, looks amazing!
In second, and this is where things really got kicked up a notch. Our man @Jasonak again with a truly remarkable colony. This is exactly what I was hoping for when I we chose the "troll". Look at this beast!
But, make no mistake we have saved the best for last. In first and your winner of the 2023 Corpse of Helltrollmen Man grow out contest! With a perfect monster of a colony. You dominated this one from the beginning and let us all experience what the Troll is capable of in the hands of a true master. Honestly I think I speak for all of us when I say "blown away!"
Let's all congratulate our 1st place winner!!!!
@Z Burn's Reefing
Thanks once again to everyone who participated not just the hell troll but all three contests this past year you guys make it fun
And don't even think I'm gonna forget, mentioning the real engine behind keeping these things going, and that is our organizers. Without whom these would be literally impossible. There is no way I could do what thes guys do to keep all this stuff in order. My brain just doesn't work that well. @Reefing102 especially man, I can't thank you enough for picking up the slack on these.
And with that, the 2023 bc growouts are officially over. Congrats once again. Winners will hear from me soon with prize info!
