Wow, what progress! Great looking coral!
How long did it take to get it that large?

My blasto's growth was relatively slow compared to other LPS corals I have which started out as single-headed frags; it took a number of years to reach that size.

From my understanding b. wellsi has a much slower growth rate than b. merletti.

I have another blasto wellsi which I acquired as a small colony and because it was already a colony (instead of a single tiny head) it seemed to have a greater growth rate in terms of generating new polyps :

Beautiful! Is that last one a torch? The mushroom leather looks huge, 5 heads min. and one great looking open brain. Great job.

 

[Beniamino77]

Yup! That's a BIG torch. I have 3 of them all with really long tentacles. I think the coral you're referring to is the pacillapora? I don't have any leathers except the yellow fiji.

 

[redsea]

Wow, beautiful tank Beniamo77!
