looking for pics or info of lokani with purple/blue in them

[mntl]

I am looking for a nice lokani to grow out, I have seen many that look green-ish or brown but a few that have developed a nice purple/blue in them. Frag farmer has a very nice looking piece 20000 leagues lokani but I do not recall seeing pieces of this specific coral (frags) in anyone elses tank. I would like to see this in another tank to guage color or if anyone else has some nice pieces please post. This has been one of my favorite acros for awhile and I have run into a few but the coloring seems to vary and many dont develope the purple/blue tips.

If you post a pic post how long you have had it, what light, flow etc also if the coloring has held, and if it has where did you get it if possible.

Thanks in advance!!!

Bad picture good coral. LOL The mother colony looks identical to the ones mentioned. This one is getting too much light, and is turning all purple. But it does have the green polyps.
Found a whole colony of this.
This is a frag of the mother colony i have, and soon will be in its new owners tank.

I have one just like Fragfarmers. It's still pretty small for a pic. Not to mention its near alot of other frags at the bottom of my tank. When I upgrade I'll post a pic of it then. Mine did not come from fragfarmer. I got it from FragGuy awhile back when he was still selling some frags. Not sure if he still does.

Ps nick had a chance at this, But he would rather give his money to tyree.

I lost mine due to high phosopate spike same as chuck.
Seems to be a very touchy coral

Beautiful guys!!

rxx2-- appears to be coloring up nicely imo, if you dont like it i would be happy to relieve you of it

blue7-- I like it better than the PM (assuming it is the one on the left in the first pic)

Kip-- Very nice.

Here is another site that sells frags, although it does say currently sold out.

I got a frag from him a little over a year ago but it didn't make it.
I agree, lokanis are sweet looking corals. Can't wait to get my hands on another frag.
