Of course Matt is not a B.S. artist..... There are pieces in circulation, be patient and you will get yours. I'll post a little bit more about it later, off to work.

You guys can't be serious about the Darth Maul piece. The name is very cool however.

I've often wondered that myself....

I'm not suggesting he is.I just wanted to know if it does looks like that or if it just a good shot. I

"Darth Maul" is not just my coral, it's also Matt's, he was just kind enough to pass on the purchase and let me buy it (we were at a LFS at the same time). After the coral had grown out a bit, I fragged two pieces, one nice chunk, and a smaller chunk. Matt got the bigger chunk, and the other piece was given to an advanced reefer who has done a lot for the hobby, and I know would not kill it. I didn't want to be the one who "had that one coral". I have since cut one more frag (more like a sliver), and traded it to someone who again, I felt would be able to further propagate and distribute.

The coral was given to a friend of mine by his uncle who owns a LFS in the city as a B-day gift IIRC, he broke down his tank and that's about it.

I do not own a camera (they steal your soul with every picture ya know), but I will say when it is happy that it looks like what you see on Matt's site. The part that trips me out is nobody has commented on the strange lumpy growth pattern. It's a PITA to frag because it seems to mound and get spiky, rather than spread out and encrust.

It's good to know whatever it looks like is nice and has gone on to others who better grow it out and pass it along.
