It is crazy how different everyones RP looks!!!

I have mine under 2x 250 Phoenix 14k's and 2 super actnic VHO's.
What lighting is everyone else have there RP under?
 
Here is a so-so pic of mine. I am in between DSLR cameras right now so I had to borrow a friends point and shoot.

The base is still really green, its just hard to see with the shadow, but mine has growen quite a bit since I have gotten it.

Here is a frag that started off as a couple tiny tiny nubs. This was taken about a week ago, and it now covers the entire top of the frag disc.

@ reefer334. how far down is that piece? the colors are a lot deeper than most on here. Btw, holy encrustation! nice piece.

I have seen these come in so many different colors and variations even from the same orders at my LFS.

Wow Ron yours is growing like a weed!!!:eek1:


Mine is just encrusting like crazy but not much growth:(


I thought they all grew like this...lol! Mine encrusted on the rock pretty good, I don't think as much as yours did though, but I was quite surprised how much the branches have growen, and how many new ones popped out. You know what is funny though, I have a couple frags I have made so far, and both of them haven't growen up at all, just encrusted like mad! Yours does look to have retained a lot of the green, which looks killer. Where do you have yours placed at?

Thanks!!!Mine is down about half way in my tank so about 20 inches under the light.

For some reason my tank has very fast growth rates on my SPS(except red planet!!) and my colors are deeper than most others I see but my polyp extn sucks.

Thanks Ron!!

I have it about 20 inches below the light which is half way down in my tank.
 
I can't wait to get mine. I have one coming on the next shipment from one of our local guys. Not sure when they are ordering though

Yes, your stuff grows SUPER fast! I wish everything in my tank grew as much as yours. I am surprised you aren't getting better growth out of your RP. Mine sits about 12 inchs or so under the light, maybe with less light your get that nice intense green, but slower growth. Either way your piece looks killer. The colors are amazing! Tell you what I will trade you my Larger RP colony for all the rest of your beautiful SPS....so is it a deal or what?? LOL!!!
 
I love my Red Planet. I think it has awesome potential and can't wait for it to start tabling. Mine encrusted down the plug for a while and now has started forming new branches too. It's slower growing than my other corals and shows "moderate plus" polyp extention during the day. I think a more accurate name would be Deep Magenta Planet. Here are a couple macro shots.

Yes it's up high. That's only because it sat under a 400w in the store.

finksmart, I have a frag coming this week and I'm also running T5s. I assume you have yours up high?
