Here are some of my favorite growth sequence pictures.I am always taking pictures of the same corals so I can see the growth and progress of propagation. It is a huge benefit to see what is taking off and what needs attention.

 
Exhibit A

This piece is a Favites Pentagona (aka war coral). I started off with a tiny piece, maybe less the 1", a little super glue and a reef disk and it was ready.  It took about 3 months to start to really grow, see pic 2.  Check out the encrusting on the plug. Finally, pic 3, you can see the frag fully grown out to the edge of the plug on all sides. Frag  took about 4 months.
     

Exhibit B

This piece is a Micromussa  Amakusensis (aka Green Envy). Started off with one tiny polyp, puttied to a piece of rock rubble. It took about 4 months for this piece to really start to show significant growth. In pic 2, you can see the rim of babies round the mother polyp. Pic 3 shows the 4th row of babies and finally turning into a mini colony. It took a little less then 6 months.
      

 
Exhibit C

This piece is a Cyphastrea Ocellina (aka Meteor Shower). Four little heads, unmounted, is what I started out with. To give it something to encrust, I took a reef plug and some super glue. It took about 3 weeks for pic 1 to go to pic 2. Finally, getting good polyp extension and growth, I moved it under brighter light. After about 6 months, I have a fully encrusted frag with a bunch of polyps. At this last stage, I could frag it in half but I am enjoying the growth.=)

I hope you guys enjoyed the growth sequences, check out the rest of my blog for even more growth and propagaton pictures.
