Awesome Efflo, but that stag in the bag is very impressive. How long have you been growing that? Looks like A. Abrotanoides?
Thank you for complement. Stag in the back is Hugo Rainbow stag.Fast grower.

Got a Copps green efflo a few weeks ago.

Grew awesome under fairly high light (about 6" down from the surface directly under two T5s - noticeable daily growth within a week of introduction). I moved it to a place about 12" in front of an MP40 about two week ago, but about 10" down from the surface - I didn't notice growth, but I'm not concerned because it's big enough that unless you really watch its horns it's hard to really measure growth, now that it's grown a bit.

This morning I did some cleaning and accidentally knocked it off. I've decided to move it like 2" from the surface. It's not directly in the MP40's way anymore, but it's about 4" above it now.

This was from a month ago. Acropora spathulata in the back.

Just now, with what I guess is a red/pink acro cytherea or plana, and a green acro sublara or multiacuta. The “horns” on my efflo are taller than a few weeks ago, for sure.

Sorry guys, won't let me fix the photos. These become really tricky to keep detritus off of on tanks without mechanical filtration like mine.

Here is my Soli I had for years, I love the unique way it branches. I bought it as a wild colony back in 2005. I still have a frag in my collection but it just never seems to want to take off as when it was under MH lights.

Original colony at 4"

At 24" from left to right

When it was large I was hacking off large pieces all the time. Due to flow differences it went to an umbrella form for it's next growth after fragging. Terrible pic but wanted to share the unique growth this coral had.
