SPS pics

Well, the corals have done quite well while the tank sits fishless. I had the camera out today, so I took a few shots.

Here's the purple acro w/green polyps. Unfortunately, the higher light it's getting lately seems to have made the purple fade except for the extreme tips. I'm going to move this down a bit and see if comes back. This piece is descended from a Garf colony, and may be the Purple Bonsai, which tend to color up better in low light.

Here's my blue tenuis, darker than it's been in a while. It was a little pale before I replaced my bulbs last month.

This ORA pink mille frag browned out when I brought it home, but has come back very strong in the past few weeks. I just love this color! The tips have just exploded with growth recently.

This acro has become of my favorites, and I have no idea what species it is. It's a Bali aquaculture piece - dense bushy growth form, fuzzy cream-colored polyps and deep blue tips.

That's all for now. (And maybe, just maybe, some pieces of these will find their way to the frag swap :D )

Do you think this is the same-I believe its an ORA tenius?

My blue tenuis is a Bali piece, not an ORA.

I have mine at the highest point in the tank, directly under a MH pendant. Mine is better described as a brown mille unless it gets very strong light. :D
 
Those are some nice pictures and acroporas. Make sure you save me a few frags once the frag swap comes around. :D
