Show off your coral's growth with some before and after pictures!

This Leptoseris was one of my first corals I put in my 75 when I set it up about three to four years ago. It's gone through a few ups and downs but it's survived and I'm super proud of it. I don't have a picture of when it was first added in but you can see where it's grown over the original frag plug and onto the rock.

Here's a video showing progression of a system including a green slimmer, Acropora youngii, over a 3 year 1 month period.

Have you done anything special to get it to grow?

I'm a huge fan of before and after photos. I tell people all the time that a camera is valuable piece of reef equipment. We lie to ourselves about how things are growing or not growing. Its not intentional, but we all do it.

Here is a favia I have.

This is my stylo.

Here's Pavona and Lithophillon after about 6 years. Three frags of the pavona and 1 frag of the Lithophillon were attached to the overflow at the same time.
