lol, yeah I do need to find a brown SS! It's quite rewarding to watch corals recover and start growing again (plus its cheaper that way!). I'm always on the lookout for another browned/bleached piece. Here are links to a couple other corals I helped recover:

Great threads. unfortunately, I have some stubborn corals that take forever to fully color up. maybe I should hand them to you
 
israel.kendall, what light do you have it under ? It looks like a RP to me. But what do I know. LOL

My RP is about two years old now. And is my biggest colony in my tank.

Even though it's a tabling acro, it will grow vertical first (like a fan) before it spreads out. Also it likes a lot of light. So don't be afraid to move it to the top of the tank.

Example:
This is a frag off of my mother colony.

Thanks! It's good to know I can move it up if I need to. As of right now, since I'm getting color and growth, I think I'll leave it alone. I'm finding my corals do better in general the less I mess with them, so I pretty much let them be if the seem to be progressing.

Nice frag! How long did it take to get that growth? Got any progression pics?
 
I mounted my frag kind of sideways, will be interesting to see if that makes it grow differently. Not sure if you can tell, but the pics of my frag are taken from the side, even though they may look like top down shots.

Nicely done. I have a small brown out pink milli in my tank for about a year and its still not colored up yet and no sign of growing on that neither.
