Definitely one of my favorites (a few acanthophyllia, cynarina, and indophyllia)

Question to you meat junkies on this thread: Do these develop *more* colors as part of age, light or other tank changes?

I have one that is mainly 2 colors. It's happy and puffy, but question if it may develop additional colors to it. .Or am I stuck with 2 colors and that's just part of the individual corals DNA and that's it.

BTW. I saw my LFS place his on PVC slides to elevate and allow the sides to droop down more which makes it look bigger. It works. =) My flatter pancake meat now is now almost double thick. Interesting tip.

Thanks for the show of colors, but any comments on the question?

I'll touch on this a bit, generally they will get *better* color but not *more* color if that makes sense? Sometimes you'll get some speckles here and there that come up but this is rare and not really very common.

We use frag tiles on all our meats so that they don't tip over or get moved around

thanks for the explanation. That means im stuck with my two colors which may get better, but still two. =)

Here’s what I mean by elevate. I just sliced about 1 inch of pvc to serve as a stand. It kind of cups the bottom so im not too concerned with it tipping over, but does elevate it enough to allow the flesh to relax over the sides. Without this the meat would look rather flat.

I might have to try that. Thanks!
