so i had utter chaos couple or so years ago and i had 1p...my experience that time the growth was painfully slow and polyp is very small like a zoa on me...it didnt even made babies at all till it just melted because of neglect then i got out of the hobby...my tank is 5 months old now...and everything is stable...
i decided to get a 2p frag a month ago...i didnt expect to have a nice growth on it,,,so happy and excited about it i wanna share :D
the color is super nice also...brightest paly in my tank...polyps are huge and the growth is fast....maybe utter chaos are fast growers :)
anyways heres a few pictures id like to share....i also got 1 huge polyp of spacemonster paly a month ago and now it has 4 babies underneath....well i had it before and i know its a good grower...
now for the pics:tongue:

Look's like you'll have a war on your hands in no time. How are zoa/palys with fending off montis?

That's cool how you have the plugs placed onto the rock. How did you do that? Did you use reef puddy or super glue outside of the tank? I just picked up some reef puddy and was hoping to glue some frags in the near future.

i plan on moving the montis once it encrusts the whole plug...

im using bsi ic-gel...i super glue them inside tank,i have to hold it in place for like a min so it sticks....i use superglue for now so i can pop them off when i need to put them somewhere else...i use epoxy on heavy corals that i want to be in the rockwork....epoxy is hard to come off....

Thanks!! I put them in thinking they would maybe get to 10-12 polyps in a year, I actually may have to sell this colony since it will start encroaching on my sps soon...
