A few of my SPS

Thanks for the compliments. I have actually thought about moving that piece but I like it too much where it is.
Thanks Andrew
Banana puke---I love it, that is funny. That piece now has a new name. That other piece is quite interesting and going through major changes so I am not sure what it will do. It is more of a blue/cream base with reddish corallites and green hues throughout - kind of, sort of. That is assuming you are talking about post #456?

Here's a couple of lower light pix of a couple of crazy pieces that have done some interesting morphing lately - I can't capture these two acro's under regular settings without glare coming off the corals. They are seriously bright and the color on the granulosa gets me pretty excited.

Granulosas are my favorite, looking amazing Greg.

I don't have any granulosa's at all let alone ones that look like yours do Greg....... first it's dragons and now pale skin granulosa's :hammer:
What conditions do you have them in - flow, lighting, basically i need to know how not to kill one please mate
The skins like those that glow so brightly they're almost impossible to photograph due to the extreme contrast are my favorites acro type of all the SPS, awesome stuff Greg :thumbsup:

Thanks Brett - they are one of my faves as well. I have been searching for one that will be up to the standard of this one below that I used to have through 2007 -2011 and given time I think that new one might be it. Funny I say new one but I actually got the frag it is growing from over 2 years ago but its taken a long time to get its act together. It was just a brown blob in my prop tank for about 18 months or more.

Thanks Andrew, as previously mentioned they kind of float my boat as well. Both the above pieces are very close to each other in a high flow area within about 15 inches of an MP60 powerhead on the lagoon mode wave pulse and for the lighting they are pretty much directly under a Radion LED fixture at 100% and getting supplemented from two sides by MH & T5's - but holy doodle they are hard to photogragh. I have a few other smooth skin pieces that are bright & difficult to get a good photogragh of with my limited skills and equipment.
Check out this little A.caroliniana - this baby really glows and I know you'll like it since there is a rumor about how you like green acro's :wildone: although it is more high-lighter or "safety vest" color in person. Another piece I got as a frag in mid 2012 so it also took a long time to start growing but it is finally smartening up.

Thanks for your continued support Mike. Yes some corals are growing pretty quickly while others are painfully slow:rolleye1:
The tank still has quite a way to go before I would call it filled in but thank you.
Thanks very much Tom, that is a really nice compliment.

That is stunning Greg, i love fluoro pieces :thumbsup:
Love that last set of pics, very yummy as always mate. What's that last one because i think i have an uglier version of that. I think it was purpley colored when collected but i've turned it more grey/purple lol.

Greg you truly are the coral master. I hope to see your tank in person again sometime soon.

Greg, great pics, and of course corals.
If I could ask one of those newbish questions ...
So with the pink millis, if/when they brown a bit, do you find the skin fades to a brownish with hints of pink until regaining full color. I have a milli frag in my tank that has been teasing red for a while but hasn't made it past reddish brown. Bright green polyps, at least.

Thanks Andrew. I am not sure of the species on that one - it was a wild collected piece through Walt Smith in Fiji I bought back in 2011 and I lost the colony but the guy I sold a frag of it to kept it alive and I later got a frag back. Those crazy looking branches coming off the bottom are new and it appears to be morphing and I think I like the new look. That said that coral changes quite a bit - at times more green and sometimes more blue.
