Sweet pics guys! Kurt448, Does yours have tan or green polyps? What kind of lighting is your friends under horace? Sweet frag King Kong! That looks alot like mine Heres a pic:

It seems like the frags polyps are turning green and I have it down on the sand bed so it could have to do with the lighting.

Yep it sure is . He lives only about 20 mins north of me. His tank is unreal.

my chips today looks almost identical to qqjeffs...especially when going from that top down shot. I just realized I haven't updated my profile in a while, but I use the 10K reeflux bulbs along with the blue t5 and two 03 VHO's. Polyps are definitely green and not tan like you see on most A. plana.

word of warning...be careful where you put your frags...they grow extremely fast! I have mine growing onto 3 other rocks nearby and it won't stop encrusting and encroaching on other corals.

Nice one! Seems to be Green is the true color for chips. Anyone else with some pics?

 

[drtango]

Here's mine, aquired "before the storm". I think there are at least two versions circulating out there--from before and after the hurricane. Mine is greenish with electric blue tips under 400w 14k
