Avoid the green pocis, but there are some terrific looking ones out there that I wish would spread.

My purple/pink poci

I have a green por. I have been considering this ...hate to do it but don't really want a tank just for them... I would never put them within reach of another coral as they have sweepers. I pulled them from my DT after one damaged a nearby birdnest and reading about them dropping. Cant control what they are going to sting with sweeper if their deciding their placement in the tank.

I leave mine, I don't have any purple, but the light, and dark green.

I also have a Rainbow Poci- I havedn't heard anyone mention.
It seems to be a slow grower, and hasn't shed/dropped any polyps- yet.
It's a really cool looking one as well, sorry- at work and can't upload a pic.

I do have smaller green ones in several area now.
I had a huge solftball sized drop all polyps w/in 1-2 weeks, and I pulled the skeleton.
Params and all other coral were fine at the time.
