Far left finger leather about 3 months, Fiji leather about 6 months bought it from Garetts acropolis for about $20 as a small mother stump. It’s now healed fully and looks complete. Koji wada about 4 months and lastly the weird finger on far right for about 1 month
Wow, they are doing fantastic for such a short amount of time!

Here's my hammer coral that I showed in the first post of this thread. It has now split from 2 to 4 heads.

My nano is probably the nicest reef I’ve had so far, the 5’ is slowly catching up though with its torches…

But here’s my big showpiece Goni in my nano. A good 3-4 inches long with 2-3 inch polyps.

Do you have a timeline of growth for some of those colonies?

Walt Disney in particular.

I feel like my growth rates are slow and steady
That colony is about four years old. It took about two years for it to grow past a frag size. But yes, very slow. But worth it.

Some of the new coral I picked up - Something did not like the St Thomas Bounce so I have moved its remains into my nano to try and recover it. But here’s all my coral I’ve gained over the last week.

The pics are embedded but there is no text in the post to quote
True, embedded may not be the correct word. Because the pictures were attached but not inserted, there's nothing to quote. If the picture is inserted instead of attached, you can quote the "picture".

We all know corals under blues are stunning but how about corals at night with a UV Torch? What do we think?

Thankyou, not my best photos - try holding a torch and taking a photo at the same time :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

But I tried my best! I am in love with the red Goni and the HG Micromussa.

Not saying I could do it either :face-with-tears-of-joy:

The goni shot is one of my favorites too.
