Since I've posted a couple of crappy phone pix - why stop there?
Here are 2 more except these are a little "more gooder" quality. :lol:

I have been trying for a long time to get a decent picture of my Atlantic blue chromis pair and they never turn out - then like magic this one just happens to swim by photo-bombing my coral shot. Ironically this is the best picture of them I've been able to take.:doh:

Personally I think the Heliopora coerulea (blue ridge) is a rather under rated coral.

Thanks.
I got the colony off another reefer back in 2005ish and it was about 3-4 inches then. It is now about 14 inches across x 8 inches deep x 12-14 inches tall. Not all blue ridge are created equal as they come in a variety of growth forms. I have another large colony in another tank that mainly just encrusts & plates. I much prefer this type that grows into the finger like columns. It looks very cool top down as well and has always had that that same sort of growth form as in the picture. I personally think it gives a lot of character to the reef even though it's not a pretty color.
