A Word of the Coral
TIA Blue Whale Acropora earned its name from the largest animal on Earth. Fittingly, it is also the largest colony I have personally grown in my system. Starting from a small piece years ago, this coral has grown into a massive colony now far larger than a basketball.
Over time its coloration has continued to evolve, shifting subtly as the colony matured. Watching it grow has been one of the most rewarding experiences in the reef tank. There is something truly awe-inspiring about seeing a coral reach this scale while maintaining its beauty and vitality.
