Dan, beautiful colours as always. I love the assorted rainbow colours on some of your pieces of SPS. Says a lot about your skills in keeping SPS. :thumbsups:

Hey Dan, is that your Strawberry Shortcake on post #982, 4th pic. I purchase a frag from you a long while ago and it grows just like that. The faster growing part looks white with color coralites, like a bleached coral. The older part stays colorful just like what it shows in your photo. It's like 2 different corals joined together.

Yes.It has some unique properties.The new active rapid growth is almost white and as it slows and becomes mature branches the dark pigments are realized.I have had the OG Unique corals SSC and this one grows much faster with the mature growth having the same pigments or similar to the OG.
The ORA red planet grows similar to this in my tank with the rapid growth being almost white and as it matures,the reds and greens develope

Hey Dan,

Great pics as always. I always find myself wondering what these corals are that you post. Can you name the other corals in post 982?

wow Dan I like it! I bought a few corals from you at the delaware frag swap in New Castle. didn't get to talk much. I really like your pics and all the info you have shared. You sure got the hang of taking pictures they look better and better. Sorry if this has already been given but what are your tank parameters ex. nitrate po4 ca alk sg. etc if you don't mind. Best corals I've seen and your pictures are true. The corals I got from you looked like the pictures. Thanks again.

That is some crazy growth formation on that monti.
Is that just the way it encrusted? Is it getting some crazy flow?

Mine encrusts for a while then mostly plates out.

Nice pics as always!

TY,Patience and stability will get you there.GL

I had some questions on how large the Teal stag is.It is 20 inches wide and about 12 inches tall.I assume it is hard to tell its size if you have never seen in person.

Thanks for looking everybody !

[dvanacker]
