Let's see your orange passion!

[reefmutt]

I got this one on the larger plug in a trade straight from RR as OP but now looking at pics in this thread I think it might be some other RR piece like a pretty in pink or something...

Wow.. Sure looks more like pretty in pink.. Crazy nice..
Here's my op.. Front

Couple tops..beside a red Diablo

Closer..

It's up high but only under 150w radium
It's a very good grower..

Here is my sc orange passion. I have it under about 500 par and it is starting to loose some of its blue color. I am thinking of lowering it to see if the blue will come back. This coral has p/e as good as a crazy milli.

I did move my passion on tuesday. It seemed ok yesterday. I came home tonight with about 2/3 of the coral with rtn. I caught it in time to frag out about 10 small branches. They seem to be ok so far. Odd part of it all was there was a small section with about 2 branches that was coming off the plug that was totally unaffected. It must have not been connected with the mother, tissue wise. Sad day.

Coming to me in 3 weeks. Gimme that orangeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Mine is pretty new in my tank, but I'm already seeing some growth. Seriously fuzzy polyps too, but they have faded to kind of a green with orange tint which is actually pretty ugly. :lol: I'm hoping in a few weeks the polyps might brighten up again - what do you guys think influences the orange coloration? Specific water params/supplements, PAR, spectrum, flow??? Mine is RR Canada OP.

:hmm2:

Beats me!! I don't have any orange in mine..
I would say that my fuzzy colony (in frag tank) which has a hint of orange (barely) is about 6 inches away from 2 blue+ bulbs.
My colony in my dt sees more radium mh and has virtually no orange..

Terrible pic but mine is from March

Can't get any orange out of mine either. Still a pretty coral thought.

I have yet to see any orange in mine. To be fair, I picked it up from a guy that was having a hard time getting it to color up. It has been in my tank just a few weeks, so only time will tell what it does. It is a nice frag, even without the orange.

I suspect-only from memory and observation- that the good orange polyps and blue tips present themselves more in low nutrient conditions. Like below .04 p and somewhere around 2 n.
Mark, what are your parameter and the parameters in the tank that the piece came
From?

No clue on both. I do not test for other than Ca and Alk as well as I should. I did not ask the owner of the other tank.

Very nice!
Can you list your parameters and maybe show us a shot under full spectrum lighting?
Thanks!
