WWC 2020 Cyber Monday Cookie Monster Grow Out Contest

Bleigh · Dec 1, 2020

This is just for fun.

Several of us bought a cookie monster acro form the WWC Cyber Monday Sale and thought it would be fun to track the growth progress of the frags. When you get your frag, post a picture of it. I'll try to update my picture each week. If you want to participate, post a picture at least once a month. I will buy a $25 gift card for WWC for whoever has the biggest frag by December 2021, but you have to post as least once a month and the first picture has to be posted by the end of December.

To the winner goes the spoils!

Looks like an A. Sarmentosa? If so, a great SPS for people to try out. Very hardy and can take a huge range of PAR, also generally very forgiving on parameters....as far as SPS go.

i think so as well, i reached out to WWC via email to get more info on all the corals i ordered and i asked for taxonomy names if they could provide them, maybe we will get a direct answer

Happy that so many people are excited about this. I’ll definitely do it for another coral in the future if people enjoy it.

Well, do we want to do it by distance from base or by branches? We can decide while we’re waiting on everyone to get theirs in. My thought it distance from base since I think they’ll all be around the same starting size then.

They both would be tough to judge, i would have to say distance from base, but we could also post a starting photo and a end photo and vote on which one looks best. Only because depth in the tank and other coral sizes may dwarf or enlarge the frag.
