7 months grow

Pleasantly surprised as this coral usually grows slower every other time I've tried, but in this tank is has taken off.

Wow. What kind of lighting do you have? Is the bottom picture taken with just actinics?

That tank has a single DE 250 watt HQI 14K Phoenix on a PFO ballast as well as four T5HO flourescents ( 2 D&D Actinic + and 2 D&D True Actinic) run on an Ice Cap 660 ballast.

What brand of reflector are you using for the 250 watt Metal Halides?

Could be, although it does have the characteristic tapered branch ends of Lokani. The 4 colonies all look quite a bit different from each other, so it wouldn't shock me if it was something else. That one is actually the only one I purchased as a wild colony, and is quite a bit more dense than the others.

It is funny you posted this an hour after game 3 was over (a 4-2 Indians victory btw )
Perhaps the depression you are feeling from the impending implosion of your Sox is confusing you?
