It's about 1" high and the sustainable reef plugs are 1" diameter so it's big enough for me. Trust me Rory, when you get a chance to see their 2nd gen frags in a shop up close and personal you won't give a toss about the size lol......
The devil is in the detail btw, i got that frag last Thursday and sat it on the sand in my coloring up spot - every tank has a spot on the sand where new stuff seems to just like......... it's weird but i bet some of you know what i'm talking about.
What you see out of the water is very different to what you see under the SPS display water. The bright clean purple was the color all over when i got it - that is bright blue pigment in sunlight. The polyps on the right are bright orangey red which is what caught my eye. The icky colored zoa you think are brown are what the red zoa on the skin looks like out of the water.........The circled places are where the pigment shift has begun from bright blue to intense inky blue. The radial polyps in those areas have also turned intensely blue from the bright blue when i got it.
Remember, my water is drastically different to the water the frag came from so shifts are common. Same thing happens when you get stuff from friends, might be a stunner for them and a dog for me.
I don't stick just any old frag down on my rockwork these days Rory........ :twitch:
Andrew, Is there a piece of equiptment, other than a magnetic stirrer, you would like, but unwilling to buy because of the price? I am not saying you can't afford it, but it would make you sick paying the price.

Hey Marty, i'll be doing as you asked btw, forgot to reply as usual lol.
Well considering i have 11 T5's and 2 x 400W Radiums running and only 4 of the 24W T5's are a month old and all the other bulbs are 16 months old now........ i would like like the bloody fortune it's going to cost to get new ones lol........ i'm pretty sure when i eventually put two new radiums over my babies i am going to see some rather positive responses.
Time for bed, this is my princess. She is finally coloring up and starting to think about growing after 2 months. A pink stag is one of my holy grail acros and i'm pretty certain i finally got her. Has very pale violet encrusting tissue at the base and healing cuts.
Further to color placement, what makes a pink acro look pinker....... a red one in front of it
Do you see the icing on the cake protein developing on some of the corallite lips receiving very high light.
If i up the contrast and saturation to WYSIWYG vendors level you can see what color yellow and pink make.
I think the branch sat at Dave's for 4 days before i saw it, it was washed out dirty pale salmon color but the growth structure was cool. Dave thought it was ignored because most of the other stuff was bright pastel glowing which made it look even more of a dog.
It's just luck most of the time........
