Looks great! Where do you have this placed in the tank and what type of lighting? I've had a hard time getting mine to have the deep blue polyps. Maybe I'm giving it too much light.

Here's a my "small colony" I got this piece 3 years ago from a reefer breaking down his system. I went there to buy a favia colony for $30 and only had $50 on me in cash. After getting the favia I looked around at what else he had and fell in love with this huge colony he called appleberry he said he got direct from atlantis. At the time I had no idea what Atlantis or appleberry was, I just wanted a frag. He had one 1/2" frag he wanted $50 for and I told him he's crazy. After negotiating and explaining, I got 20 bucks, take it or leave it, he accepted my offer. I now understand why he wanted so much. Please don't judge my growth, this piece should be dead. It's been through 3 tank changes, a nasty divorce and its finally settled in the last year. Back in January I got dosing pumps and alk,cal,mag has been solid ever since. That's when I started to see it color up and grow. It's under a 150 radium, 10 royal blue cree XRE and 2 cool white XRE. LEDs were off for the photo with an iPhone 4s.

I have one of those, sweet piece, you can morph it into all kinds of colours depending on lighting and tank position. Very hardy :celeb1:
