Love the branching cyphastrea.

Nice! I don’t see larger ones too often. Or. Ever!

how long did that take?

I’m growing two out at the moment, both with different shapes. Ones growing wide and the others growing taller

A little over a year. Seems like a slow grower, but most cyphastreas are probably on the slower side.

My buddy scrapped a piece of this encrusting coral and glued it on a frag. When he gave it to me it was just a white blob of glue with two super faint red polyps. Couple Months later and it’s now almost covering the frag plug. It was literally a chunk of glue.

That's awesome growth for just a few months!

My yellow Sun Coral finally bloomed last night. Pink keeps fluffing up but not opening.
