some of these growthrates make me want to keep sps again, every sps in this tank was a frag from local club members in the seattle/portland area, most of them came from tyree, roy (sps from #reefs) got a whole bunch from him back then

all these are pictures from 96-2001 before we moved to iowa, the purple tip nano started as a 1" frag, the growth was insane, the orange cap also grew like a weed, basketball sized when we removed it, the tank was acrylic and we had to break up a bunch of them to get them out, they wouldnt fit though the opening

this one was wierd, it had a massive growth structure, columns would spike right up in the middle growing straight up, really weird monty, very thick, very fast grower
