Figured I'd update since I took a couple of pics today. Not a lot of growth but it's doing well. Coloring up very nicely!

Nice! Definitely a big difference in color/health since the last pic. Glad to see it doing well!

Thank you! I can't wait to see it 6 months from now!

Yes it has settled in nicely on the frag rack, but it's almost time to mount it to a grow out tile and move it to my grow out system. Hopefully that will go smoothly!

Yourreef.com had one for sale last Saturday.

I don’t think that was the MattV version.

Not OG MattV Optimus Prime. There are other vendors who have used the name, but they are not the same coral.

@SawCJack00 can we get an update? Pics are always welcome too :D

I received a nice pancake from AV99 on January of 2020.
Coloring up very nicely and encrusting a lot, but no vertical grows so far.
Hopefully it will start shoot a branches soon

Very nice Russireef! Thanks for jumping in. Do you have a pic of the purchased frag? Just curious about how much growth you’ve gotten since January...

 

[RussiReef]

Unfortunately I did not take a picture when I purchase it, but I would say it grow 2-3 times larger since I got it

Unfortunately I lost mine. I'm not sure what happened. It was doing well, then it just slowly wasted away... :(

Oh man, I’m sorry to hear that.

That sounds like pretty decent growth compared to what some others have experienced. What size plug is that?

 

[RussiReef]

The plug is 1.5 inch, but I bought it on 3/4 inch plug. So it is not a super fast growing coral,but descent.

Any one has a frag of the Optimus Prime?

TSA always has some for sale. Not sure if it's the OG that everyone is talking about, but it's what they're calling Optimus Prime.
