It actually can develop three different coralite colors. If you look in the upper right hand part of the colony, you can see pink coralites along with yellow and green.


Very nice piece. I like the name too.

Yep, the first one is the Pastel WM. The second one is the Vivid Echino. It's really small though. I was really trying to show the coloration in the eyes.

Congrats. In my tank, it's getting a lot of light under a Radium 20K. I've found that with more light, it gets more of the pastel pink hue. A little less light will bring out a mixture of the pink/blue hues. But this is by no mean a low light coral. It gets pretty dull if it's in a low light environment.

Thanks Kenny. I run 2x 150 14k Phoenix in a 58 gallon tank. I'll acclimate it in low light and then start moving it up.

These are not great photos and do little justice to Kenny's Pastel Watermelon or Coralfarmer123's Flame Thrower but I wanted to share. Both are absolutly stunning.
