Is Shazam a slow grower for you? My frag is just starting to encrust
I find it kind of medium. If its in a happy spot, it grows pretty well.
Nice! What are the disks you have the Favias on?
All of those disks are three inch except for the last one which is a two inch disk.

The next picture captures a few of my coral. The far right and most prominent is WWC Red Ferrari, and the far left is Z's Showtime which I think is truly a showstopper and lastly on the bottom center is TGC Cherry Bomb. It is hard to tell but the WWC Red Ferrari is about 4-5 inches across. It is getting a ton of flow so surprisingly or not it is growing relatively thick branches.

Been caught up with some personal projects but I actually have a bunch of pictures to share. I think this humilis is pretty cool, Rakie's Unobtainable. Pretty unusual color for a humilis and it is a really good grower once it gets bigger.

RR Wolverine Lots of purple with yellowish corallites some of the base seems to stay yellow.

I really do have an sps dominated tank but I use some real estate for some brightly colored lps.

These first few pictures are from the lower right of my tank, the lowest chalice is about 2 or 3 inches above the sand.

I think this is an unusual chalice

A couple sps (garf bonzai on the bottom of photo) surrounded by lps. The garf banzai is probably 4 inches off the sand.
