Blue Tip Staghorn (show me YOUR's) ..

I don't have a picture of mine but I swear it is a frag from the same piece. It is basically indestructible and will grow straight out of your tank.

It is like the girl you SHOULD have taken home from the bar. Not real pretty, but low maintenance, and makes you feel good about yourself.
 
Here is my blue tip. A real fast grower!

hahaha nice way of putting it bvoss .

next frag will be a green slimer .. can't wait. will have pics when i get it !
 
I was thinking a little high up, It does not have much room to grow north, and it will . They do lighten when getting to much light. You want the rich brown with blue tips. not tan with blue tips.
 
Okay so do you think I should lower it a bit then? Thanks for pointing it out to me as I am still so new to the SPS thing...

I'll lower it and see what happens, and I do agree .. I am looking for the rich brown with blue tips.

Thanks,
Scott
 
I like saltfun2003's coral. All his polyps are out and give the nice brown ./ If there is a nice brown.:lol:
 
Very old picture but color is still basically the same. When it's really growing, the tips are much darker. Body is creamy white and corralites are blue with dark blue tips. It only seems to want to grow horizontally.

Wow I really like the blue coloration on yours schanz... looks really nice. I just lowered my coral a few inches.. hoping to see growth soon.

Another newbie question:

Seeing as I have no idea how fast any SPS grow, can someone give me a rough idea of how fast THIS coral usually grows?? Does that mean , an inch per month? an inch per two months? etc... I just am so clueless haha! Given that your CA and ALK are good, I would assume this only promotes faster growth.
 
Cool, thanks man... pretty neat stuff. At first 1/2" or even an inch sounds like nothing (at first..) but then you realize.. wow it adds up quick haha... can't wait to see some growth.

Thanks again all!
 
Just curious, how fast do staghorns grow? (that is, under the right conditions) Can anyone post some growth pictures?
