Hey Cody. Yes. The original pics are from 7/2017. After the crash,2018, I lost about 10 sps colonies and 20 frags and mini colonies. Some lps and chalices. The plate died and had been buried for a while thanks to my blenny. About 6 months ago I cleaned the tank of a bunch of skeletons but left the plate and about a month ago I noticed babies. It's wild. The mother died somewhere in 2016.

So intriguing how that happens. It reminds me of the black mangroves in Galveston. They all got wiped out by a big freeze a few years back. Nothing but brown skeletons Everywhere in the entire field. I thought what a shame...there were some very large trees growing. Then to my surprise I was out one day looking at them and I noticed that from the very bottom there were new leaves and branches appearing. I was really happy and very surprised to see that. I guess you can’t kill them with a hard frost or freeze unlike the red mangroves I tried to relocate here.
