    The difference a few months makes

    I was bored and shot a couple of picks and looked a few old ones and really noticed the spread of the coraline. I will attach a couple of older pics to show progress. The only thing diffferent as far as livestock is the sun coral that was free and the Monti Digita that I snaped into three...
