note gap between green slimer and Pocillipora. This morning they're almost touching. Pretty obvious who's sucking up calcium and alkalinity in my aquarium.

here's what's sometimes called "rainbow" Poci. Purple polyps with a yellow-green skeleton. I got this from a fellow on RC and it's asexually settled in my aquarium in crazy places (similar to my green Pocillipora).

here's one of my green Pocillipora

this one has settled asexually all over my aquarium and at one point was a real nuisance. The colony in this pic settled low in the aquarium and into a bad neighborhood! In the right conditions this is a beautiful easy to care for SPS.

Awesome pix Gary, all my Pocis vary the same way, the higher up the brighter pink and then goes more dull the lower it gets. i have the same piece so low compared to the other that people think its a totally different coral lol
