I have a photo from a couple weeks ago … I just can't get a good shot. Its too far back from the glass.



If you look close you can see the green tint to the base … especially where it is encrusting … its almost neon.

I just wish I could get a good shot of it that shows the detail. The polyp growth is now starting to resemble the other Red Planets that I've seen photos of
You know I actually have this exact coral in my tank. It's not exactly "red planet", but it's just as nice IMO. This is it from October:


You'll find it has less of a tabling habit as it gets larger, more of a traditional acro pin cushion look, but it's definitely one of my favourite pieces. Relatively fast grower as well. Mine has kept that beautiful deep red colour with whitish tips to on the actively growing branches, but the neon green has diminished pretty dramatically as it's gotten larger. My red planet in comparison is almost pink.
