Purple cespitularia
Sparkling blue cespitularia

Any chance we can get a photo of the icefire echinata? I had a piece of "fire and ice lokani" a few years ago. I totally coveted it until the original owners colony RTNed and he wanted it back. I'm too nice Haven't seen one since

Presently I covet the ORA Bellina and the Pearlberry. One day....

I'll get a pic tonight. Mine has a greener base than the parent colony (which RTN'd during a friend's tank transfer) - which had a white base with brilliant blue tips. There was another frag of it, but it fell and is mostly dead from what I hear.

When I move up to the big tank and haev better lighting, I'm hoping it'll colour up even more.

Oooh, Bellina. Yeah, it was that or the Pearlberry.

Crappy pics:




In my friend's tank the base is snow white and the tips are crazy blue. My light stinks, so it's blue with a greenish base.

Here's my frag rack:

(Clockwise from top left corner)
Deep purple montipora capricornis (grew from 1" x 1" piece to 7"+ across and 4" front to back in a year)
Acropora jacquelinae (just sent off to a friend)
Pearlberry
The base of a sweet purple tip loripes
Red planet
chili peppers monti
Hawkins
Acropora speciosa (?)

The A speciosa looks sweet under actinics:
