Growth Shot



I Decided to show the growth of one of my favorite corals over 10 months. It is a torch coral (genus Euphyllia). I got it in early 'O8 and it has prospered for the most part ever since. The picture on the left (first one) is shortly after i got it. When i purchased it, my tank was still relatively unstable and not yet reached a equilibrium. It still did very well.



After 5 months later (sep. 08) it continued to prosper and had survived one of my clumsy errors: when killing aptasia with Kalk I dripped some on it and killed some of its tissue.









10 from then the torch coral has grown significantly and went from a single tiny head (when i first got it) to a 4 head colony that is slowly getting bigger. It is really nice to see something thrive in my tank. I hope it continues to do well and prospur
