Thank you!

I agree it is gorgeous. Admirable growth rate also. Well done.

A dumb question if I may... The original piece from RRC, was it (as the name suggests) literally two frags from separate colonies spliced together?

Thank you very much. It's actually not a spliced coral. It was a pink Milli that has a green fluorescent protein infection. You can read more about it here: https://reefbuilders.com/2019/01/10/the-rainbow-splice-acropora-millepora-from-reef-raft-canada/#

They are, in fact I'm considering additional surgery. If I do it I'll post pics...

Sell me a frag? That thing is beautiful!

But seriously, if you are selling, hit me up!

Thank you. Not fragging at this time, but I will eventually.

I figured... But I had to try! Good luck and keep updating us, that's a beautiful piece!

Time for the May 1 update - I did a little surgery again, and I also took one small frag off to start growing as a backup.

 

[Sisterlimonpot]

I'm sure that's the biggest frag known in the world! Keep growing it...

The growth on this has been awesome to track. I recently got a small frag, hopefully mine sees growth like this one. Keep on with the updates! Lots of fun to follow.
