I found this today looking through my pics, and was stunned at how much they have grown so fast:

Both are from MeCold.
First strain:
Ok, one polyp when I got them, date stamped:

Second strain:
I didn't take a pic when I got them, but I got them in tha same shipment as the ones above, with two adult polyps and a baby. Here they are with six polyps after being fragged as described below:

I have fragged this over and over to trade/give away polyps since I got it- no less than 4 times of 3 polyp frags. One frag I think was actually a 4 polyp frag. The others in my tank polyp babies, but none so fast. Anyone else have strains that do the same thing?

:D

I got the ones in the last pic from Mecold also. I started with 6 polyps and now have about 20 polyps after 2 months. I also fraged them twice. They are probably the fastest growing palys Ive ever seen.
