As about as long overdue as it gets. The previous pic on the site was the one and only coral pic that I didn't take myself. That was Raul "bubbaques' pic. I asked to use because I never had a decent shot of my own.

See examples here.

My original shot on the left. Ick! I know, horrible pic. I was still learning how to use my camera and editor. Raul's solid pic on the right, which has been on the site for years now.

A trick for polyp extension ??? Do tell :)
I give reef roids couple times a week and the other day I got benereef. That made BC Efflo go nuts never seen that before. That particular coral for some reason really responded to the Benereef.

I was always proud to see my pic was the only other one on the site besides yours! Sad to see it come to an end.

Beautiful new colony pic!

Wow. Mine recently started crazy growth and PE. I’d be happy if mine looked a fraction as good as yours

Now on to Bozo? if it’s anything like this nasuta I’ll be very pleased
so I did actually try during the same shoot. but my little bozo just isn't big enough for a decent shot. pics not going to work. heres what im talking about. I can't capture the color quite right. good news is I've got 4 colonies about this size that are really taking off. give it another 3-4 months and I'll try again, and I'll shoot the best looking one for sure. I honestly love this thing. it's literally the colors of Bozo.

Looks great, mine seems very happy. No colors close to yours yet but I already really like it, glad I put it in a prominent spot
