beginning of a birdsnest
So I got this birdnest frag as literally 6 polyps. I found a crummy picture from August to kind of start a baseline, plus one from today, and then I'll update this every 2 weeks with a fresh picture. I've never really paid that close attention to coral growth, and I'm curious to see how noticably it grows in that little amount of time. This little frag has grown from about nothing to what's seen here in about 6 months. You guys help keep me honest for pictures!
