On 3 March 2012, I received this badly stung Scolymia coral.

By 14 April 2012, a little over a month later, the coral was healed and starting to recover.

At the two-month point (14 May 2012), the coral was a voracious eater.

After nearly four months (30 June 2012), the coral was starting to fill out.

By 7 October 2012, only seven months later, the coral was just looking a bit lop-sided.

Even after three moves across the country (this coral has been with me in Nevada, Utah, and Virginia), I still have this beautiful Scolymia. Interestingly, in 2016, the coral underwent color changes, as shown here (3 July 2016).

Oh what a difference a year can make!
