Growth Shot

[Leishman]

I didn't really notice the growth on this 'till I came across an old CD w/pics on it.

July 2003 (About 2.5"x2"x2")

Last night (8"x8"x8" and I took 10 - 1" frags off it in Jan for a local club meeting)

Seen in the tank here:

That tort is a beaut!

 

[atzak]

Nice, your tank looks sweet

 

[TCU Reefer]

Very nice.

Can we get a full tank shot?

 

[kirstenk]

A real beauty.

Seems like where you fragged it you are getting multiple branch shoots (different from the first growth). I ask cuz I have a coral I fragged/broke a few times and the new growth is doing the same thing.

Any thoughts on this from others?

 

[jsweir]

Same theory as Bonsai trees...

I didn't frag the top, all frags have been taken from the lower rear of the coral. I didn't want to remove any height from the mother colony.

Not a very good one. I have a friend with a D100 coming over to get some 'true to life' shots of the tank.

 

[an-sps]

yup the more you frag the more it grows, usually

nice trigger

There's 2 in there. The female is right center at the top (kinda twisting back). They are x-hatches.

 

[nbd13]

weren't you going to sell the triggers?

or did you decide to keep them?

[Leishman]

They are sold. The new owner is in Germany while her new tank cycles. I think she will be picking them up in 2-4 weeks. I will miss them, but I will be happier with the 10-15 fish I replace them with!

 

[nbd13]

Haha,

what are you thinking of getting to replace them?

the tank really looks good!

any new pics of your montis? Do you have the "Hulk" from John? i got a piece awhile ago off of him along with a few others and they are really taking off. John's a nice guy.
