That is only 2 months growth?! And after fragging some?! I would love to be able to purchase a frag. What lighting are you running it under? Tank params? Any care instructions you can share?
 
Might be late to the party but I'm gonna follow any ways. Looking good
 
I've heard this grows like a weed and those last two pics prove it! Good work man!

I got my Homewrecker as a typical small frag back on April 19th 2016 (my birthday :) )



Since that time, I grew it out for a couple of months and then split it with a friend as we bought it together. I have since made 10 frags of it, one of which is in the illustrious hands of @hybridazn . Here is a recent picture after all the frags had been cut.

a little more than a year since last post, hows everyones homewrecker doing
 
This was a recent night shot. I have made numerous frags of this guy. I would say it would be 3 x bigger now if I had not made any frags. At one point last summer I cut the colony in half and sold a half to a nice vendor. It has been my experience when I mess up and let Alk drop below 7, the coral loses its pink. I have done this a couple of times. Once I get Alk back up it colors up over the course of about 2 to 3 months.

@Renton777 my frag is encrusting. Can't wait for it to be a small colony. Great PE too. Thank you!
When I first received it.

Looking good @Robink ! You must be treating it well, keep up the good work!
 
I'm a little late to the party, but here's my HW. Overall it has had consistent growth over the period that I've had it. Getting about 300-400 PAR throughout the day.

Looks great!!
 
Thought I would share the growth progression of my homewrecker.

The first picture is from feb 14 when i originally purchased from another member

The next picture is from May 21, good growth but lacking color from low nutrients

And finally the last picture is from yesterday July 23 and I couldn’t be happier!

Not sure why my pictures are loading all pixelated and low quality...
