I want a frag

So do many[emoji6]
I got this from a friend, this is a real pink stylo from fiji.
Often you see the purple stylo which was kept in ultra low nutrient and turned pink. After a while in normal conditions it will turn blue/purple again

Here you see then both under same conditions.
Center and topright

I also have the purple, but i try , a long time, to find a frag from this really pink one....very difficult where I am located, and you are too far, to steal one

I did no special effort to get it.
A friend who was succesful with it, made a frag for me.
The reason why i am really searching for new species is space limitation.
I love to see how corals grow out to large colonies, so i hate to cut them . I am a coral hoarder[emoji23]

I love how the coralpolyps grows so dense on the staghorn.
The acropora parilis have nice long baby blue tips.
The purple tip acropora is growing like crazy (i am looking for the name)
The poccilopora is showing more and more pink since i replaced the T5 bulbs a gew months ago.

Those black boxes above the frag700reef are the same one from my Butterflyreef.
China made "wifi 165watts" units.
i have 4 of them, but i would not purchase them again nor, recommend them to anyone, because get 2 shipments with 2 different color temperature, so the lamps don't match. I got 2 refurbisched units and the wifi controller broke down serveral times.

Patience my friend. It's a learning process.
It took me 14 years in the hobby to get at this level.
Now i believe i may say: "i can reproduce results time after time".

I was trying to trim the corals which reach the surface. By doing so breaking off a "small" frag.
I don't even see the difference on the mothercoral[emoji16]
