Thanks Christy. The squamosa's colouring was different, not too common, so I snatched him up. The Pipe Organ is now much bigger than a basketball. The strange thing is the polyps are changing from brown to a greenish brown lately. Don't know if this is good or bad?

It was a green pipe organ in my tank Lance so I suspect it's a good thing

Oh good. The polyps aren't actually changing colour, it's like it's slowly replacing them with shorter green polyps.

Well Leah, it's about 18" long and 13" thick. Big enough?

Thanks Mike. That skimmer is a little overkill for a 90g Mike. Be nice for the 225g though, but I'm happy with the MR-3

Marie and I were discussing the Pipe Organ a few posts back and I've taken some pics to try to explain what is happening. The longer brown polyps are being replaced by shorter green polyps. I'm not sure what is causing this and I'm also not quite sure if I like it or not. The green polyps are definitely brighter and more attractive than the brown ones but they are shorter and don't move in the flow as much. This coral is huge and looked like a large undulating mass. Now it looks like a green fuzzy basketball.

You can see the longer brownish polyps toward the bottom section of the coral and the green short polyps covering the rest.
