cyphastrea decadia

scrapz · Jun 25, 2010

Not much talk about this coral, but always been one of my favs. I've had this for over 2 years. It's never really colored up for me, even died off a few times. I mounted it about 3 weeks ago and it's taking off, green undertones on the low lighted area and blue undertones on high light portions!

wish i had a better camera!

oh my GOODNESS this is makin me drool. i got the meteor shower, tyree red, and j fox PPE cyphastreas, and am getting a cyph japonica soon too, but have been looking for a decadia for so so long. i LOVE the branching aspect of it, and have seen some in diff colors. you have a great piece right there, and Glenn, your decadia looks identical color to my PPE, can i ask what you got it as? and what other two you have in your pic other than the meteor shower? man i LOVE cyphastreas, and on that note leptastreas. GREAT thread by the way hahaha

Weirdest thing about my decadia is that it has a BRIGHT green growth rim. Oh, and it really doesn't want to "branch" in my tank.

In the order of display in my pic above, I have a White Polyp, Neon Green Polyp, Pink Tip decadia, and meteor shower. And I forgot about The Hulk cyphastrea that I have upstairs in the 50cube display tank. It's a larger piece (no, not large enough to frag yet) that is all green. The whte and neon green came from internet auctions and the other three from a member in my local marine aquarium group. Of the five, I really think the Neon Green has the most potential - the polyps are really awesome when it opens up.
