hey garrick. long time no talk. when u gonna show a pic of that colony. i think you probably have the largest matrix grown from the original colony. all the friends i distributed frags to lost their pieces.

im still not totally convinced rich's is the same coral. coralites look very similar but i still havent seen the same coloration from any of his pieces nor the growth.

WHOAH... blast from the past! Haven't talk to you in ages Alex!!! Great to hear from you.

Man, does this coral grow slow or what. I kid you not, the colony is only about 5" around. I've taken a couple frags here and there, but nothing crazy. I did switch to 10K's and I can already see the growth improving. Man, I should've done that a long time ago! This colony would be huge.

Ya know, I haven't seen Rich's coral in person. Lots of people say it's the "blue matrix" but I can't confirm it. I know where I got mine from though!
