Thanks for the update. Is the current status correct on these?

My Miami- now at 7 eyes with one or two more on the way 1.5" diameter and outgrowing the frag plug. Brian hasn't fragged yet.
BPC Flamethrower- still at 1 eye
Crazy Fox- dead- fell on top of another chalice and didn't make it
Rainbow Magic- has 2 eyes with a third forming
Lingerie- started with 1 eye and is now up to 8 eyes and at 1.5" diameter
Frozen Lava- started with 3 eyes and has not grown much and is looking rough
The Thing- started with 1 eye and is about the same
Orange Rainbow zoa- is at 14 polyps now

Thanks again,
CJ

My Miami- now at 7 eyes with one or two more on the way 1.5" diameter and outgrowing the frag plug. Brian hasn't fragged yet. As far as i know.
BPC Flamethrower- still at 1 eye. Yes, however, its just about ONLY an eye. no growth since last update. maybe 1/4"
Crazy Fox- dead- fell on top of another chalice and didn't make it. Still dead.
Rainbow Magic- has 2 eyes with a third forming.Three eyes, color doing great.
Lingerie- started with 1 eye and is now up to 8 eyes and at 1.5" diameter. I have not counted the eyes lately, I would say it is about the same ~8 eyes or so.
Frozen Lava- started with 3 eyes and has not grown much and is looking rough.Was looking horribly rough when i got it, it died back during the incident, and now its growing again, color needs work though.
The Thing- started with 1 eye and is about the same.Still one eye, coloring coming back.
Orange Rainbow zoa- is at 14 polyps now. Still around 14 or so polyps. Glued to rock to help the polyps spread out from the center to make for easier fragging.

Some quick updates before pictures tonight.

My Miami- i have been talking with Brian and I should be getting this My Miami soon when he can make time for me to come grab it from him.
Rainbow Magic- Still at 3 healthy eyes, color is very metallic orange, with hints of other colors to come. Looks awesome.
Lingerie- Color is almost back to 100% i have not counted all the eyes, i am pretty sure its still around 8 eyes.
Frozen Lava- There is still flesh on this guy, about a quarter's worth of flesh, still fighting to get color back though.
The Thing- Still coloring back up, looking better though.

I appreciate the update! The Rainbow Magic looks crazy!! I would love to see a pic of the Flamethrower when you get a chance.

Thanks,
CJ

I was thinking the same thing. I would like to see all the pieces in the grow out if possible. Thank you again for the update.

I got the my Miami from Brian today. Abou half of it was dead, looked like it had gotten stung recently. He said the dead part was healing over. I fragged off the dead skeleton an have it in my system now. It actually looks pretty good color wise...total of 4 eyes survived. Pictures a little later. I'm out of town tonight and tomorrow.

Sweet! I hate that it has suffered a little, but what hasn't that came from Brian?! Anyway, that's the best news I've heard all weekend so far! I'm sure you will get it looking good again. Thanks for the update. Would still like to see some pictures when you get a chance!

I just looked at the first page of this again and it has almost been a full year since this thing has started :/
Yeah, it's been going for awhile now... It seems like there's been as many steps backwards as there have been forwards, with most of real progress only been made in the last few months.
I'm always hoping to read better and better news, even if pix don't come very often.
