Anybody have these corals?

Speciosa is a beautiful deep water. I believe there are three color variants. Gray blue with purple tips, reddish and greeny blue color.

Very slow grower. Low light and low to med flow for good color

Here's a few pics of my Icefire

At the time these pics were taken, I'd say it was about 8 inches under the water line, under radiums in lumenbrite reflectors which are about 16 inches from the surface. Lots of flow.

I've found this coral to be almost indestructible. I went through a period where I did just about every wrong thing you can do, and this coral has pulled through like a champ.

My speciosa in it's prime. Had to frag it down during the "great recession of 2012" but it's coming back.
