Purple Cross pics?

[Aquattro]

Who's got a good pic of their purple cross acro? Mine is huge, but not much color. In fact, probably the dullest piece in my collection.
I recall the original colony was much more brilliant!

Purple cross are one of the hardest corals to colour up, I find that they need alot of light to keep the brilliant purple, otherwise they just colour down to a drab brown....Which is why it's not in my tank....

I recall that Jamie had the original mid tank, and it looked great. Mine was directly under the MH, no purple. Now with LED, still no purple. Might have to remove it and make room for something purdy

You could look at Denis's frag sale photos. He has alot of pictures in them.

My itty bitty frag lots of purple in the tips, though (bad pic)

Hmm... I did save a bunch of Jamie's photos somewhere way back. Doubtful Id be able to scrounge them up now though.

Pics didn't show up, but even Denis piece is abit brown.... Sorry Denis not trying to insult, me and Richie Rich$$ were at Denis yesterday and saw the purple cross which wasn't looking so purple, the colony Rich posted is probally the same colour as yours Brad....

Replace it with a sunset Millie or golden pink spathulata from Tim T, mine took about a month to colour up and is one of my favs out of many melting sps in my collection.
