Unfortunately no, the rest of the tissue sloughed off that night.
When I get the anemone and clowns out of the cube tank, I will do a major reno on the 175g. I want to remove the rocks that have the massive hairy mushrooms growing on them and cut back some of the corals to improve the water flow...there are downsides to having giant coral colonies

Well, the colony seems to be doing good, when you want a piece stop by and I will give you a chunk. Should be ready for the nem and clowns next week.

marie, i think its time to upgrade your camera cause from the looks of it, it does your tank no justice

really jealous of the size of your colonies, lol

The pics really don't do it justice but I suspect its not all the cameras fault

That's my favorite looking coral in there you just can't do that!

I was about to say your tank is starting to look like Chingchai's old tank. If he can maintain flow with maybe 100 gallons of water in a 600 gallon tank then you just need to toss some more flow in there =)

Crazy growth and super nice!

Things are looking great Marie.

The purple acro is still in the tank, just moved over for now. The coral behind it on the other hand is in my quarantine tank looking for a new home...anyone want a 10"round tabling acro?

I am dreading the day that my corals become giant colonies. In fact I lose sleep over this anxiety

Good grief Marie, I just found the super grape milli in one of those pictures. Its huge! It was like 2 branches when I was there in may. And the convexa in the third pic! You do have a way with SPS thats for sure. Maybe we should call you the reef whisperer
