    Do people think that when corals are broken off in the ocean, that they land vertically on end? With the tip upright? lol. What I've noticed is how thick the frag gets when it's mounted horizontally. It builds up a lot of mass before branching upwards.

    Group frag shot. The encrusting to the egg crate is doing some interesting things. It now shows mesenterial filaments as a feeding response. I expect to see vertical growth next.

    Lastly the mother colony that started it all, as a tiny frag once upon a time.

    Your is the growth shot one, when the temp drops and the we work out a better mailing deal. Still trying. :)

    The horizontal one is my little experiment, I want to see what it does in the long run.

    You are never annoying 109 degrees is, shipping prices are kind of a PITA too.

    Thanks :) I don't mind the shipping price too much, because I would pay end up paying twice that much for what your offering.

    I hope me posting about this doesn't draw in a million people asking for stuff. :eek:

    That is another one of my favorite acro's. My LFS frags all their SPS themselves, so its nice to see the mother colony.

    What happened to yours? If you don't mind me asking?
