What was it? Sunset Mille from Steve Garret @ Fullerton CFM in 2012.

Colony or Frag? Mini colony

Still have it? Yup. Survived AEFW, Temp/Alk Swings, nitrates @ 80+ppm, and Biopellet crash

How big did it get? Mostly encrusting, some branches grew out a bit. Mainly because it is encrusting downwards (growing on an upside-down glass plug) plus the abuse it went through. Decided to mount it vertically and it's starting to take off.

Highlighter acro from mr Wetdreads Small frag. Still have it today. Stupid monti is encrusting on the side, I think I'm gunna scrape the monti off so I don't have to throw away the whole piece. Its been through some tough times. I think it's indestructible.

Here's the sad part most u kids, ok youngsters only know stuff by its designer name and have no clue what the true scientific Latin names are. When I got into sps most every thing you could buy at the lps was always brown and there was no designer names (well there was a few but not like these days.

My first piece was brown montipora capricornis. That ended up turning red/orange.
Got it as a chunk like 3" triangle
