Krusty Kraken Growout Contest - Picture thread

[Dust Bowl Corals]

Krakens should be arriving to your tank soon. This will be the official picture thread for your monthly photos.

Winner gets a $500 gift card!

Quick reminder on the rules:

1. You must submit an initial entry picture and monthly pictures thereafter. If you need to miss a monthly check-in, let me know in advance so it won't be counted against you. 2 misses and you're out.
2. The first one to fully encrust the structure will win.
3. Have fun!

I really love that placement in the cave. It adds a nice sinister look

Shiver me timbers!

Got it in the shade under a frag rack for a few days to settle in. These look super nice, @Dust Bowl Corals really cool idea, and nice work on coral selection!
@evilexotica dang bro, very nice work on those krakens! What did you weight them with? Or is that a trade secret...

Many failed attempts before having no real issues with the print.

I am now the owner of a small graveyard of misfit krakens.

It’s a rainbow one. Thought about meteor shower but wanted to do something different as meteor shower some people already had

I can guarantee the kraken to be alive

As for the coral, I’ll have to send another
