I'm not sure which one to use: beautiful, stunning, outstanding, or sexy. I def think all the above. Great collection

Great growth shot for a month! Looks like your paradises are getting bigger too.

My buddy came by and snapped a couple photos to show you the growth from 2 polyps in just about 2 months. Way better than my pics so thought I would share. Sorry to crowd your thread.

THey look sweet! What kind of lighting are they under and do you know the par? I got mine about a month ago and only one baby polyp just started growing from it. I did have to move it around a few times so that might have stunted the growth a little.

It's cause I feed them all like they're my babies... maybe you should do the same. *wink wink*

The obvious difference are their colors. The CAO had an incredibly slow growth rate as well, the baby stayed as a baby for months!

CARs grow at a medium rate and do best in high light and med-higher flow. Mine developed a slight yellow inner ring, but the CAO had a very obvious one. It's like the better and more awesome version of a CAR.
Shazaam, can't say much for it since I haven't had it too long. But looking at other people's pics and from TDF's description, where the Shazaam was originated, it is a CAO morph.

Here's the CAO and CARs next to it, they were both under the same lighting and flow for a month or two. Hopefully the pics show the obvious color differences.

Here's the Shazaam I got from Joe Knows Reefs. Looks similar-ish to my CAO.

Hope that helps!

Thanks, this collecting portion of the hobby is addiction. Too many new morphs come out almost every week!

Amazing photo! I don't mind at all. That's phenomenal growth from 2 polyps in 2 months. Congrats.
