What’s your nutrient levels? Colors look great.

That is great looking piece. I was at rapny and I could only find people selling just green. This is def on my bucket list of corals in the near future. Thanks for the progress shots looks great

I love it. The “green” portion is more yellow than green, which makes the contrast really pop. Definitely a must have for stickheads.

2 weeks later. Final update for 2022.

When you see the two pics(from 2 weeks apart) side by side, you can tell the difference in growth. Lot of new nubs and small nubs have grown to larger nubs. This dude has started to look substantial in the tank

Do you see any red in the new branches?

 

[SamsReef]

All of them have some streaks of reds in them. The lower branches are more red. Overall, I would say the colony is 60-40, 40% being red.

Looking good! I've had mine for about 3-months now and so far it is just encrusting. Looking at your progress in page 1, I think the 6-month mark is about where yours started branching.

That’s great! Mine just started branching, hoping to see more red in them.

As long as the frag has reds in the frag, you should see them multiplying as they grow out. The small nub that I started with had 40 percent red.

Come on man - looks like you just hit your 1 year anniversary with this thread, you’ve at least got to throw up the side-by-side. Amazing growth as always - thanks for sharing!!

I think most here would kill for this growth in a year!

Around 700 PAR and lots of flow around it. Radion Gen 4 and Gen 5 combo
