Thanks. I know it's hard to compare the FB since it's so much smaller, but to my eye, the rim is a different shade of orange, than that of the dynamite. Hopefully the rest of the body, as it grows, will show more differences (I think the FB gets more of the different colors in smaller areas than the dynamite). As Ian said, I too am not interested in the exact same coral, but very much interested in variations of the same look. I've got the rainbow crush and crazy clown coming. I will definitely add some side by side shots with those. I am a wee bit concerned that the crazy clown and the shockfire will be the same coral, but hopefully not. I think I'm most looking forward to the patron though :bigsmile:

BTW which blue crush frag did you get? The big one up on ebay now is so nice, but too rich for my blood.

My friend and I are growing the blue and rainbow crush pieces that we got from m@m at aquatic obsesions. hopefully in another week or two. Can't wait to see a group shot with the patron piece.

Thanks for the pics!! Oh, wow, I didn't know the blue crush ends up looking like that. I thought it would be all blue, with just the tiniest of red streaks, like the colony pic on ebay. Hmmm.

The rainbow crush is definitely unique, with the dark colored "bumps" almost giving it a snake skin type appearance. I agree with you, based on your pic, I don't think the crazy clown and shock fire are the same.

Who is the hydrogen bomb from?

Interesting. Every pic I've seen of the rainbow crush has those dark bumps.

Pete, here are my flame bugatti, RC, raging river, and my bugatti (my head is spinning with these names) in a group shot when I got them and now how they look 2 months later. You can see a huge increase in coloration and brightness.

LOL, oh crap, I can't keep track... can you edit your post and put names above each pic since they don't appear to be in the order you listed?

The my Bugatti is pretty nice, and unique, I think, at this point. I may need to grab one.

I currently own the flaming bugatti......if anyone was to purchase another one in addition to that one, what would you guys pick that was the least similar to the flaming bugatti?

cheers,
Darren
