    Looks good, hopefully it works out!! I got a toadstool from Otty and hated it. It started to die. I was going to give it away but in the past 4 days since I've been running 1 MH for 2 hours it has done a 180. I think I'll give it a few months after seeing your pics! Lookin good!

    Nice pics and tank. I have just recently got one about 1-2 inches big, it actually 2 on one frag (score) so we'll see. Hopefully it grows fast like yours.

    Seem to grow slowly at first...then takes off. Seem to double in size about every 6 months.

    I have chopped out several before. But this one is so pretty do not have heart to.

    Am going to try and let it stay around as long as I can. It is in a good location to let grow.

    Unfortunately "shades" a number of other corals, some of which I may have to move elsewhere. :-/

    That is exactly the way mine is getting. It is so beautiful though, its my center piece of my tank. I just can't believe how quickly they grow.
