Vote to choose the winner - BC GROWOUT

[jrpark22000]

Ok, It's that time. Conclusion of the 6 month grow out for the BC corals we've been tracking in this thread.
http://www.chicagoreefs.com/forums/showthread.php/29480-BC-Growout-Update-Thread

Here's a list of the people who still have the coral, let's see your photos. Let's keep in mind this isn't a photoshop competition, no "enhancing" in software please.

Here's what to post below...
"4) The winner will be picked in a separate thread, a vote by the whole community on Growth and Color (Only white balance adjustments made on the camera and filter over camera phone lense allowed. No changes made in any computer software are Allowed.) Submitting you best Side and Top Down shots, if possible."

Once we get everyone's pics, I'll put up a poll for voting.

My frag, #11 started out here.

And ended here. It hasn't grown any noticable height on the large branch, instead it shot out new branches after encrusting. The color of the coral is almost spot on, the pics are very close representation.

Jrpark's looks like it has had better growth, IHC's looks like it has encrusted well. I would be interested in what these look like in 6 more months.

Still quite a few more people to post their results. I was hoping to keep this growout alive too We'll see at the end if anyone wants to go longer just for fun.

I got the sh&@ end of this deal, of course I'm the only one with the slowest growing piece, so I win in my division

Here's my final check-in; all my frag ever did was encrust



Unfortunately, I had this thing looking way better a while ago, but its still growing well so hopefully it comes back around. I started off with the smallest piece and it easily quadrupled in size so I'm happy with that.

Mine didn't grow much neither Tom.

Well, yes and you. I wasn't about to vote for myself and with the craptastic voting turnout, I thought your's had the most growth from pre to post shots.


Let's see who got it in another six months if any of us remember. Mine has noticable growth since my final entry, this thing might take off like a weed.
