Time Changes Everything

Well, it's been a while since I posted something here. So I would like to show a few pictures of why I like these corals so much. This first picture is a piece of skin from a bowerbanski colony that I happened to tear off after a fragging.

So here it is 2 months later.

This started out with 5 polyps a few years ago.

Now.

How can this ugly thing transform into something like this.

This one has been the slowest growing piece in my tank, but with some patience, it has grown a few polyps after more than a year.

Wow, very impressive! LPS can be incredibly resilient corals with a little TLC. Nice work. :thumbsup:

I just hope mummra doesn't come and say I used Photoshop to make it grow. :lol:

Yes they are, you have to throw it in the trash for them to die. The one LPS coral that I just can't understand are the blastos. They'll do fine and growing for months and then drop dead in a few days.

well since you mention it they could use a little white balance adjustment because if your fingertips are that blue you are being deprived of oxygen. j/k nice corals.

actually you could use PS to remove a lot of that blue hue to give you are more balanced look to the pic.

I just got the 20K XM bulb recently so it's still burning in.
