| Apr '01 | The frag has encrusted onto the base pretty well. No polyps have been noted, but I am not sure that this SPS coral has much polyp extension. The purple coral (millipora?) next to it is growing very fast and the frag may need to be moved. | ![]() |
| Jun '01 | Coral has been moved to new tank Lighting: 400W 10K MH w/ actinics Calcium: 450 - 500 Alkalinity: 3.5 - 4.5meq/l Temp: 78 - 80 pH: 8.0 - 8.25 High water motion Some new growth has occurred. Polyps are starting to appear in new growth area |

| Jul '01 | Growth has significantly sped up since moving to the new tank. Significant new growth is obvious after only 4 weeks. The specimen is now in a very high water motion and lighting area. | ![]() |
| Sep '01 | Growth continues at a fast pace. Many new branchlets are forming. Coral is about 2" across at this point. | ![]() |
| Mar '03 | Growth has been slow plus accidental and intentional fragging has kept the size fairly small. The coral is about 3" across and in harms way of the BTA. I need to find another location for it. | ![]() |
