Nice meeting you too and appreciate being welcomed into the club.
It’s on the upper left under the birds nest for now. Don’t judge my diy feeder lol! I’ll get a closeup shot when I get home tonight.

Parking lot by the flagpole at 3pm!
Awesome looking tank!
Dude...I'm all about DIY. No judgement here. I'm working on something similar for my African Cichlids.
Sorry can’t make it at 3. Gotta pick up the kids. Foo.

All you need is 1 polyp to grow into a colony. Tomorrow will tell.

It's gonna be the last of the Mohicans, by the time the contest is over.
@Bruce Spiegelman. In a meeting we had a few weeks ago said 50% of the coral frags will die. He called it. Old school. These guys know something.

I think there was speculation about maybe rough handling or something at the frag workshop, I dunno.
I am growing the heck out of SPS right now (including some frags from Boun and Kenny I brought home the same day!) but my Adam Bomb is just about belly up! I can't remember the last time I killed anything. I'm very competitive so I'm irked
I'm no acro pro and I didn't think I'd come close to being in the top 15, but I didn't expect to be out before the week was over lol the calacali sitting next to it seems to be doing fine and I picked up a miyagi tort from the last members only frag swap that also seems to be doing fine. I'm irked that I dont know why it died so fast, makes my self confidence plummet lolI think there was speculation about maybe rough handling or something at the frag workshop, I dunno.

I suspect that because the colony was already in survival mode and so large, frags that were taken from the interior or underside of the colony could be in unhealthier conditions than the outside ones. That's just natural even with healty large colonies because they get less light and flow there. Can they be revived? Absolutely because there's still living tissue, but it's a tougher starting point.
Edit: Overall the colony looked to be in decent shape based on the photo snapped when it was initially fragged after removing from Dan's tanks
