I definitely think it has potential... thinking about keeping it for myself
Has only been four weeks... sure it will colour up nicely before the end of 2011.

Ya, we'll see. It's still in the rack, so I can't expect much. I'm out of room, so it makes it tough Especially since I just bought a couple more colonies.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll let the owner of this frag know. This way, he won't be frustrated should the frag goes south on him.

A few have got them to stick but it is definitely one of the more difficult SPS to keep.

I will third this notion. I owned one (maricultured colony) for a year before it coloured up. It was beautiful green with pink tips for about 4 months and then went down hill again. Tried this coral a second time and it STNd on the base. I now have 4 medicore frags of this guy.

This is par for the course on this difficult SPS. Read about the same experience from tons of SPS geeks.
