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/#

Looks like all the previous cuts are growing nice.
They are, in fact I'm considering additional surgery. If I do it I'll post pics...

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.

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.
