Wow, that is very nice!

Coupled with the utter chaos and other corals i can see, i can imagine you have a pristine tank.

May i ask what lighting this is under and your water params.

Thanks in advance.

Mine, grew pretty fast in a few months:

sorry no white balance on smartphone

did everyone else's come on a blue plug?? mine did...i thought that was weird

 

[BfishLpond78]

Mine came on a black plug, ORA uses those types of plugs.

I looked it up on the ora website and they have pictures of ones on blue plugs...that is wierd

I just got a frag from ora that was on a white plug.

The white and blue plugs are usually for corals from the Marshall Island mariculture facility.

my frag didn't grow much for a month or so, but in the recent weeks it has really taken off. Looks like it will shape up to be a killer coral.

Beautiful, but what is that zoa/paly in the middle? Impressive contrast in it.

Nothing new at the moment. Used too much GFO and stripped the system, but she's jamming again with some decent color, only have a rosey tips on mine though.

So I put the halide/VHO setup over the tank while I do maintenance on my LED/T5 and remember how much I love the super actinic VHO lamps... here is an actinic shot of my ORA ant:


And full halide/VHO lighting:
