I have an ice fire from vivid aquariums in my tank that has grown extremely slowly. It has a very light cream (almost white) base with nice blue tips. Then I have a wild Aussie echinata that was poop for ages. Began dying off. So I cut it up and now it is colouring up and growing really nice and is be oming one of my favorite pieces in my tank! The interesting part is when I cut the dead part a small live part broke of the bottom, it's now growing on a different rock with an extremely brighter green coloration.
I will post rubbish cell phone pics when I get a chance

Ok so this is my icefire from vivid aquariums. very light unbelievably slow growth. the blue tips are there just don't show in picture, displays good P.E at night
This is my wild colony that was useless for ages, dieing in the middle, I notices an aiptaisia growing on the dead skeleton, so I fragged the dead off and now this part is coloring nicely, growing much faster then the "ice fire" from vivid.
and finally the tip of a fingernail size piece that broke off and has started growing with much brighter green base.. I can only imagine less light ?? also this tiny piece shows good PE all the time
Sorry for the terrible pic quality , the Nikon is charging and then hopefully i can learn to use it

Wow, those look real nice! I particularly like the little wild piece; I am partial to the green body blue tip variant. Would love to see DSLR pics if possible. :thumbsup:

Nice Michael.
Those pieces look great!
Here's a close shot of one ice fire I have. The entire piece is slightly smaller than a golf ball but I like this macro shot..
Just tyying to keep this thread alive..
any excuse, really...

Ok.. A different ice fire- very low in the tank.. About an inch and a half long..
