Just had to


Just had to take a pic of this guy, about 3.5 years old. Started with three heads, fed twice a week with a mix (prime reef, mysis, krill, cyclop-eeze, oyster eggs, whatever else). I guess it's 8" or so across.

Caulastrea Furcata....sometimes called trumpet or candy cane coral. I really think they look a little better with lower light, but this one is already at the bottom of my tank.

Thank you. Kind of gives you an idea of how large corals can get, and it's not even old by coral standards. Just a baby, really.
