    You can see in this picture that my birdnest seems to be multipling all over my liverock and back wall.

    Boy you wait along time between updates. Great update though.
    Are you sure that it not a Pocillopora that is reproducing, I have never seen or heard of BN dropping polyps like that, very interesting.
    Boy the Blasto got big, again nicely done.

    yes has been a long time. I don't think I have a pocillopora in my Tank unless that is one on the top of the picture I have been calling a birdnest.
    You can see on my overflow they are getting big now.

    I think the coral next to the Monti is Pocillopora, I could be wrong. Pocillopora can reproduce via polyp bailout hence the reason it's popping up under the mother colony and every where else in the tank. I would be really curious to see what others say.
    I also see a Stylophora.

    Regardless, you're obviously doing it right. Nice to see progression of corals with regard to their growth.

    Now that I know a little more about the corals I would have placed some of them in diffrent places things get overgrown fast!
    just traded in over 50 heads of the metellic green candycanes and over 50 heads of the branching hammer just to get back some room.
    now I need to cut back the bigger purple stylo that seems to grow like a weed.

    soooo pretty! I don't think I've seen a tank with so many polyps from bailout in a tank. That's wild how they're on your rock and back wall! What type of maintenance do you do on the tank? What do you attribute your growth to?
