Doing my best to make waves.
Good morning (at least it is in the United States :) ). Are you saying you thought you bought a Walt Disney, but now you are having your doubts as to whether or not it really is one?
Looks like a WD to me.... just needs to cook a little and get some yellow and orange.....
either way, beautiful coral

It was sold to me as a small piece for $ 200 as a Walt Disney by a reputable dealer. In the meantime she is taller but she does not color herself around. Since this Tenuis is quite common among you in the States and you can judge that better, I'll ask.
this should also be a Walt Disney. I got it yesterday

I'll let someone who's better at identifying these verify if it's WD. That said, you can definitely find color variations in corals from reef to reef.

doesn’t look like it, in either pic. I have two WD from different sources, so for comparison...It was sold to me as a small piece for $ 200 as a Walt Disney by a reputable dealer.

Here’s what my first frag has progressed to:
and here’s a recent pic of a fresh frag of a Big R WD:

Oha, my dealer has just assured me that it is real Walt Disney Tenuis and the polyp staining is very difficult. strange only my other sps look great, are partly multicolored.
I'll try to get a better picture. but today is bad. Here it is almost evening and my radion lamps are dimming right now.

That's not WD, and in fact, might look great in it's own right when grown out. I'd keep close watch on this piece, might be special.This is a picture of a Walt Disney from the dealer where I bought it.
I use Reefbreeders Photon V2+

It's definitely a rainbow tenius. I wouldn't sweat it. It's gonna end up special in its own right. I bet it'll look every bit as good or better then wd when it gets some size and grows into it's colors.

Indeed it does! I'm curious as well @SeaDweller !
I got myself a WD frag, and it's started growing some, but it it looks more like @SeaDweller 's first frag. (actually looks worse because I run ATI Coral plus T5s and only run a not-so-great LED at night, but whatever)
Is it common for a WD frag to start out kind of bland, and then slowly grow out into something special, like @SeaDweller 's pictures?
