Looks like you have some good growth as well as color. I think it is over the first Sunday of May? Have to read the first page again.

Hey Unique Corals, when will you be Judging?

 

[uniquecorals]

Hello all,
thank you to all that participated. Unfortunately, many of the contestants did not post their pictures and there are only 2 left to judge. Everyone started with roughly the same size frag and in the end we see similar results. The 2 pieces we had in our grow out did not make it. One died for unknown reason and the nice chunky piece we were aquaculturing fell into a large Milka Stylo colony to meet its demise.

There were several approaches to placement for this competition. We see some who started cooking that frag right off the bat. There was a good amount of encrusting and decent color. With the final two frags displaying an interesting battle between LED and T5 hybrid, Salthead007 will take the grand prize for producing the most colorful looking frag. IEReefer will take the second place prize with some nice growth and encrusting. Great job guys!
