New species "Pigtail Digi"

[drtango]

I was taking a picture of my yellow fiji sarcophyton among thriving SPS (to quell the myth that the two don't get along) and noticed that the orange digi had taken on a "pigtail" growth form---

Weird--there's a blast of current that runs through the cave, must be what's causing the strange growth pattern.

Cool growth.... I am glad to see that I am not the only "crazy" guy trying to have sucessful SPS growth with a large Sarco in my tank. I also notice that my new frag of German Blue Digi (thanks Jaff) is growing like crazy in my system. I guess that this dispells some of the myth that Sarcos can't go with some SPS.

The monti cap is actually growing INTO the side of the leather, and to the left of the sarco is a supposedly "delicate" table hyacinthus (I think). The green milli to the right is the size of a small pizza!

What's the fish looking back at you??

A late "teenage" imperator angelfish, about 3/4 through it's color morphing. He's got more yellow stripes/fewer circles now..

I've had curly q's before but it wasn't due to softies but other sps.

Whats the emperor size? How long was the change?

Mine has nearly tripled in size but still is about 3" and hes all rings.

Kent-

It's SLOW--he's about 4-5 inches, still has a circle or two, and it's been over 2 years....
