Growth pics

I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread where we can see coral growths in our tanks. I will start off with a couple of pics. Then add more as often as I can. Feel free to add your own growth pics as well.

Very nice Chad, thats a good looking frogspawn. Mine grows very fast as well.
I thought I had a pic of this when I first got it, but I cannot find it. It started out as three heads back in July and now has around 12-15 heads.

GM333...You mentioned if they get any bigger you are going to Frag them up......How do you go about doing that, to insure you don't damage them? This is very, very far off in my future, since I only have a fowler right now, in hopes of changing to reef. But figure I would ask, since you mentioned it. They are amazing by the way.

I will do it with a dremel with a diamond cutting disc and cut at the base of the branch. Its kind of like cutting a branch off a tree. If the branch is big enough you can clip it off with clippers. The dremel just makes a much smoother and cleaner cut than clipping.
