Anyone know what this is???? I bought it from Joe "keeperz" along time ago as a small frag and it has taken off...
I'm not even sure what species it is... It was called keeperz spaghetti acro when I bought it....it has a bright yellow"goldish" base and body that fades to purple with purple polyps.... One of my favorite pieces...;)

It sure looks a lot like a pink selago I got from snipersps. However, I'm not sure what he sent me is a selago...

Color on mine is nothing like yours. Mine has a pinkish body color with contrasting corallites. Growth pattern looks very similar though. Nice looking piece!

I agree 100%. Loripes can grow long and spindley like this in lower flow as compared to the photo. It's VERY nice!
