Would you say the Jason Fox Enchanted Birdsnest...long name…live up to your expectations? Like what is promoted and seen in photos?
Actually yes it really does, I think its beautiful, and i love the green skin, I believe it looks as presented. (Obviously j.f has a sweet camera that helps :) )

Thanx. Can you believe I can’t find anyone with a colony of J.F. Enchanted forest not under blue lighting? A lot of people of frags but no big colony. I see you have one but it is mostly deep blue light.

(If it doesn’t bother you, could I maybe get some pictures of the colony with good lighting at a good angle and low blues? :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:)

In that pic it looks like a Tubbs Stelata monti. It looks just like mine,lol. Very nice coral as the green skin of the JF looks cool.

Yeah I've seen a few people with it but not to many I guess. If you live close ill give you some! You wouldn't believe I have a hard time giving it away, everyone is in shipping distance :)

This was pretty close to as white as my tank gets, it has two blue plus lamps so it always has a blue tone but this is during my mid day.

The jf birdsnest is on the left the right side is a muy Verde green birdsnest, they have grown together.

Hope this helps:) thanks for checking out the build!

This helps soooo much thank you that’s exactly the kind of picture I was looking for! Amazing show piece btw. I’m happy to have scene yours grow since it was like tennis ball. Haven’t said anything but I have poked my fins around here a few times. I live in Clermont as my location states lol don’t know where you are. I’m still getting things ready and I’m adding my first coral in about a month but if you are close enough and once I can progress, I’d be happy to lend a hand getting some frags of your shoulders lol.

Icp in today, it's a little all over the place but still on track, im trusting the test :) trying not to question it.

I didn't realize my salinity was a little elevated, so this might explain some elevated levels.

This piece is finally waking up so I stuck it on a frag tile and put it on the rocks so it can get better light, im waiting for the frag tank to get up and running, this tank is a frag display tank...

What’s so funny ;)
I'd just have to get a sprinkle of magic fairy dust, a few thousand dollars worth of photography hardware and a quality editing program...but maybe

I'm shooting for blue skin and green polyps/ coralites which it already has but not quite there yet. It wants to take off its been idling for a few months.

Amazing!

What are you current nutrient levels? I remember you said you had a good response after raising them.
I did but my nitrates went up a little to much, I tested last Friday when I sent out icp, and it was( 21.8 n03 and .01 p04) they have been above 10 for a few weeks now. I have been Carbon dosing all week and tested tonight with values around (19 n03 .02 p04)I'm trying to shoot for 10 n03 and I like phosphates where they are.

I have been seeing a difference for the better but I don't want to go any higher as I still would like it to be a low nutrient system

If you still want to give some away, I would love a frag if it's easy for you. I saw that you may be going to the frag swap this weekend and I will be there. Otherwise I live near Clearwater if you live in that area. That really is a fabulous piece you have!
