that thing's changed hasn't it? Appears purple/green vs the tan/light blue I think it used to be (and mine still is). It's really growing upwards tho. Mine is still focused on encrusting...

ya it has gone through a bit of an evolution....I can remember thinking for the first few monthes I had it, "what the F did I buy this frugly brown blob for?".....glad I didnt ditch it.....it's not the most flamboyant piece in the tank but it is neat in its own way.....

Stunning there man!

I just got a small colony of RedPlanet yesterday....and was wondering how far below your lights you have yours to get the coloring (I have very similar lighting)
What kind of flow do you have it in?

Thanx, Chris

One of those unknown blue acros you sold me initially turned brownish and now the tips are turning bright green. You just never know what your coral is going to do in a different tank and over time.

I really enjoy your growth sequence pics! A great idea! Wish I had thought of that from the start...

thank Chris..... ATM its sitting on my frag rack which is on one side pane of the tank, right at the tippy top of the tank.....as for flow.....well.....there is over 10000gph of turnover in the tank and the frag rack is sitting about 3" above a MP40....the frag rack actually vibrates

thanks man.... the growth sequences are both fun and a PITA to do (gotta go search through hundreds of pics to find what I need)....ya the first thing I do when I get a new coral is take pics of it....even if its not looking so hot....this way I can A) show off a new coral and 2) track how it has done in my system

heres a few more of what will likely be parting pics for this tank......it will like be shut down in the next few weeks......wow, kinda freaky to type that... this tank has been running for five years altogether.....gonna be hard to shut it down and sell it......I cant say that Im not looking forward to the upgrade tho......anyway back to the reef porn....







went to BAs today and they had their maxi-minis on sale for 50% off!!!!.....and for the life of me I dont understand why these two were still there....kinda blurry as they attached in an awkward place for me to dunk my camera and the glass was dirty, but you get the idea....
