Nice stuff. Which is the Pink Sparkle? Is it at the bottom of the picture a little left of center? I got a pink sparkle frag a couple of months ago and it is doing well.
 
CReetin, Try dosing dome strontium & bringing your salinity slowly down to 1.022-23 (if it is not already) for the sprinkles. I had some recession issues with my non indo lords. I changed my salinity, lowered my temp, dosed strontium & now things are looking up!

Good advice. Potassium and Magnesium are the two other "popular" additivies nowadays. They seem to help calcification as well.

The "non-indo's" are rumored to come from cooler waters and lower salinity as mentioned above. I keep mine at 74-75 degrees and 1.022-1.023 and my lords' polyps are as big as some maximas! The micros don't seem to care either way, but the lords really like the cooler temps/salinity I think. Finally, it seems like my lords go through a lot of Ca and Alk, so test regularly to get good growth and constant parameters. All JMO, but it works for me!

There's an indo colony to the left, a unknown green goblin micro in the middle (polyps as big as the lords[trying to stay on topic with the micro]), and non-indos lords to the right...

I have the Pink Sparkles as well. It came in looking awesome while the Pink Lightning looked much more stressed from shipping. The Sparkles has three babies on it and always looks incredible. The Lightning, on the other hand, is just so-so. It is doing well but no babies and always looks just a bit off. It feeds regularly. I wonder about how they take shipping and then it just takes a while to come back. Hang in there, it may turn around for you. I run my tank 78-81, more like 79.5 in the winter, and salinity 1.025.
Okay, I know off the micro topic...sorry, I just wanted to share my experience.
Back on topic. I moved my JenDub Razzleberry out into the light more...not yet up...and it is looking really good. I don't have the actinis like Jen does for pics but the colors are looking really good and it is growing well. I know, worthless without a picture. I'll snap one today or tomorrow and post it. It is much more red than purple. So are my Sparkles and Lightning...sititng next to my pink watermelon for comparison is not fair to the little Pink Sparkles...it can't compete in the "pink" department with my watermelon.
Doc...I can't wait for the package D:.
 
Thanks everybody, As long as theres a little flesh i guess i can keep hopes up. Its a beautiful piece. Thanks again for the info, I may lower salinity a titch. Currently at 1.024/5 and 73-75 degrees. Might raise the mag too from 1350- to 1400
 
this thread got me addicted, threw me in to poverty and there is no stop to it. i connot believe the colors this corals can develop. super sweet Donavon
 
I picked this up from a very generous RC member last month.
