Doesn’t look bad. Having a hard time distinguishing between before and after.Make sure your params are OK and it is getting moderate flow.

I think the after pic he looks better. Def possible as long as params, flow and lighting are good. You would start to see it on the base, almost like a big pimple that would form into a new head.

It looks like all the polyps just fused together into a blob. Very little gold left. I dont see how that is not in bad shape. Here are some more before pictures.
