Are you IN or OUT?!

I would like to close out this contest before the end of the year please. At this time, the only contestants still in it are:
@Darkxerox @derek_SR @Invictus & @Reservetank

If any of you would like to bow out, now is the time to do so.

Submit your final image here in the next couple weeks. I will work on making a collage of your images for judging. I will also post the collage here for all the members to view.

Thanks everyone that participated throughout the year! It's been fun to see the progress throughout the months. Get ready for the 2025 growout contests!
I’m going to put mine 1” from the water surface and blast it for 2 weeks. Stay tuned for a complete 180° on my colors in the next two weeks.

In all seriousness though, I think it will be pretty easy to see that I’m last with the setbacks I’ve had, but I’m glad to still be in it. Not giving up. Top 4!

Mine seems to be in a good spot right now with the tank doing well - going to wait until right before Xmas to post my final pics. Sprint to the finish!
 
Sadly Arvin gave me a new frag of this recently it started good and suddenly died, so did the other orginal one I had barely hanging on. I'm actually starting to get concerned as I'm starting to loosing more sps. 2 more frags this week alone. Plus as of today my purple stylo is looking grim.
 
Final entry for me. Awesome frag and contest. Really enjoyed being a part of it.

My final picture as a non-contestant. This was really fun to see how the same coral can react in different tanks, lighting, flow, ups and downs. I mounted mine nearly horizontal which created a different initial growth pattern than others that mounted their frag vertical which spurred a bunch of new shoots from the base. Even for mine, the main branch remained nearly the same size and all growth was from new branches. Thanks @ReyDeFarts for putting this on! It encouraged me to take more pictures to track progress for other corals. And thank you @Dan-sf for sharing this beautiful coral.
