Mine has never looked like the photo you posted. Its more a royal purple color and its always been that way. Sometimes I wonder if it is even a purple cross...

That pic is the original, although even when I got a frag of that one, it never looked like that
If yours isn't a PC, I can give you one, I've got lots just lying on the sand -lol

Maybe, maybe not. I got a huge piece from Denis also, and figured it just needed some time, but it's never colored up like the original (see pic above)

Didn't Jamie used to run 10K lights? That pic you posted is top down too. There's a lot of color loss when looking through the glass. Have you had a look at yours from the top down Brad?

Oh ya, from top down, it's a perfect brown cross His piece looked like that regardless of how it was viewed. I just haven't seen another one that color.

Are they mega light wanting corals? I'm thinking maybe I'll move mine and blast it. Its about 5" under water and my lights are about 6" off the water right now. I could move it up/lights down just to mess with it and see if I can get it that color?
