Not a ton of progress on mine. Encrusting well. I am starting to see two tiny branch buds so maybe stuff is taking off.

This guy is awesome! Lots of great info… the rainbow splice talk is in the last half of the episode

Hey that's me! @Xanthurum You seem like a fairly knowledgeable guy. You should watch this. I'm sure you'd learn a lot from me :D

By the way @Xanthurum is one of my best friends, and he got his from me, so you can check with him to see if there's a chance :)

Ok, I suppose you all deserve some updates but before anyone asks...I do my best to keep NO3 above 5 and below 15, according to my Salifert it is currently about 5. I do my best to keep PO4 above .02 and below .10, Hanna shows currently at .03...PH is pretty stable at 8.2 and I try to keep alk around 8.0, Hanna shows 7.6 at the moment.

I have noticed that a lot of the newer growth is primarily Green and it transitions into a yellow and then starts to get spots and swirls of the red. Sometimes the red is deep and sometimes it's mildly pink. Sometimes there are clear lines between and sometimes it's a fade.

One thing that Eddie didn’t mention is that the frag he got from me had just one small red spot. He can confirm but I would say it was about 1/6 of the coral. Now red is popping up in the middle of green or gold areas. I actually purchased a piece back from him and grew it into one of my colonies to see what would happen. Results are pending…

Absolutely beautiful! As mine grows, I hope it gets the same coloration as yours!
