    That's really cool! Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens over more time.


    John, how long has it been since that tort broke surface?

    LOL, it has to be at least 3 months. I really didn't pay that close of attention to when it happened.

    Getting what looks like a little algae growth on one tip, probably time to change the bulb. All is well.

    And for those Karate instructors that have chickens, no, no FTS.

    Thanks Alex.

    Going to make the journey to the LFS this week, so hold that frag!!!!

    The RP pancaked out as predicted. I imagine it will start branching out from the just below the vertical line. Not natural growth for sure but kind of cool.

    Very nice Cheryl. I have yet to see any branching out from my tort. It may be dormant right now.

    Thanks John.

    The polyp right under the flattening are extremely long. Not sure if reaching for lighting or becoming wider in girth.

    Probably both, support for the extra weight on top and trying for more light.

    Thanks for the update, Cheryl. That has a pretty interesting growth pattern.
