I've got one that is similar, but not sure exactly how much. I haven't seen good pictures of the Emma mind trick. I can't get good pictures of mine, either, though. it is a pastel neon green base with orange polyps and a baby blue to purple growth rim.

This is a frag from my colony. The blue doesn't come out in the pic (or the green, really).

Let me know if these look similar to pictures you've seen.

I got one from WWC about a month ago and I really like it a lot.
Gary yours is pretty close from what I can tell from your pic, Ill see if I can get a pic in the next couple of days, but mine is still small.

We got ours directly from Paletta he stops in every once in awhile. We got this huge frag off him.

He told me medium light, too much and it will bleach.

So, do the polyps lose the orange, then? Mine have only gotten brighter, but the ones above look like a deep orange to brown... Mine isn't lineaged, but looks more like Chad's than the others shown. The growth rim is also more blue than purple than droblacks. What lighting do you guys have it under? Mine seems to do much better under higher light (color and growth).

Ours is definitely real, we got it directly from Paletta a week ago and hasn't changed color yet so that is what it looks like in his tank.

(For those who don't know, Mike Paletta made this a Tyree coral.)

The Jedi was one of my mosted wanted, but after looking at some of these pics, I am not sure. Mark's picture of the Jedi and Tyree's looks awesome and that was what convince me that it was a special piece.

Thanks. It is a nice piece and Mike had it way before all of the other imports. When I got my piece from Mike, It was not fully colored up and he told me that it really did not do well to fragging. I guess some people just have better luck with corals than others :)

I have one from Mark and I have to say it looks better than the pics of his. Not saying that his pics aren't nice. The purple rim is large 1/8-1/4". I havn't had it long enough to know the best placement, but it hasn't lost any color. One of the nice monti i have seen and I have seen a few nice ones.

Chelsey's getting one of mine today. It seems to like higher light to hold the color. I wasn't blasting it, but it was getting a fair amount.

Most of my pictures are from when the coral is mid level or lower in the tank.
