as promised, some updated growth shots

[JAG107]

Well, I'm finally back from 11 days in Orlando. Everything not only survived vacation, but also grew! I lost a little bird's nest branch though, the glue broke and it vanished. Stupid urchin...:grumble:
Anyway, here goes:
ORA Borealis (this one is growing out instead of up)

ORA Joe the Coral

ORA Stuber Staghorn Acro (the new pic is a bad one, the new branches on the plug are over 3/8" tall)

ORA Pearlberry (also more branching as well as vertical growth)

ORA Turquoise staghorn (nice coloring up)

Cheers!:Cheers:

my ORA's dont seem to have grown at all

Dustin, have you measured them at all? I use a little 6" plastic ruler and measure all my SPS monthly. It's interesting how some of them take off for a month, then stop growing, then others take off. Like they need a break from growing or something :)

 

[dustin_P74]

never thought of that, but what i have read that i thought was very interesting is that if you snip a small piece of the tip off the coral will just take off growing and it will grow thicker branches

My tips seem to get "snipped off" accidentally hehe. I'm clumsy with my stuff.

So Yote, you're more of a "belt" man than a "ruler" man with the kids? :mrgreen:
