Looks great. I wish I had a huge tank that I could really grow my colonies out in, maybe a 300g. Mine end up hitting the sides and then they don't look as nice. So I usually try to keep them trimmed before they get there. Luckily we have a good sized group of reefers in the Bay Area so plenty of people looking for frags.
Thank you. It is a favorite pic. My display is only 120 so it gets cramped eventually. I am a little less than 1/2 through completely replacing the coral stock in there.

My "new and improved" mounting method will make it easier to pull a colony for trimming or replacing. I no longer mount directly to the reef rock. Instead, I mount to a larger rubble rock, then mount that to the reef. Super easy to pry off versus chisel. Takes a few tries to get a secure mount sometimes though.

Gorgeous. I have an old colony that looks very similar. Does it have great polyp extension? The color on this video is off a tad but the PE on this thing is the best of any of my table acros.
