I also got a gorgeous frag in the CC live sale. I have it offset in a bit lower light and the red is somewhat dull with the bluish tint to the encrusting portion and inner branches. I wish I could get more of the bright red on the corralites that it had when it came in. Do you all feel higher light might encourage more of the red and brighten it a bit?? I don't think I have it in the sweet spot at all.

Here are some shots of a mini colony and a frag. The frag is kept in lower light.

I like the deeper coloration it gets in lower light but it grows faster in higher light.

I think this is my Hellboy frag. The reason I'm not sure is because 'someone' (read: the wife) accidentally tossed out my list of corals after I had photographed and categorized them for the upcoming revamp of my website. I DO have one though. If any ID experts out there tell me this is not it, I'll look again.

Here's a more recent pic of mine. I think I found its sweet spot in my tank as its starting to go more red finally instead of just the tips.
