That  is awsome, I wish mine grew that fast.  Maybe I'll give the whole colony to grow for me.Thumbs Up

Wow.  That is an awesome colony Jared.  The initial frag looks like A.turaki to me; but the grown out frag and the colony look like some sort of A.carduus.  What is it?  I'm intrigued.

I always thought it was A.turaki.  I could definitely be wrong though, it very well could be A. carduus.  Do you know the distinguishing differences?

A.turaki has longer, more tubular axial and radial corallites than those of A.carduus.  That's why the first pic looks like A.turaki to me.  But it also could be that the coral is indeed A.turaki and  the radial corallites don't have enough time to develop yet in the second pic and in the mother colony pic

Nice, you very well could be right dkle.  Thanks for the input!  I'll have to look into this a little more.
