Oregon tort... No better blue than this. Still dominates the mono-color acros in my opinion.

No sir it’s my favorite

The sad thing that doesn’t show up in the photos is it has this baby blue Aurora around it that just grabs your attention no matter what I can’t capture it

All my corals that have that baby blue I can never capture correctly on my camera. Its a shame. My FarmerTy Blue Cotton Candy has the same baby blue aura... Never shows up on pics.

Just boring in pictures but in real life, gorgeous baby blue.

My Baton Rouge is solid Red under my 400’s. Neon green polyps at the encrusting part. Unique.

What PAR is your Little Red Ferrari? It has been dormant since introduction.

The Homewrecker I got from you has developed all those great pink highlights on the coralites! I’m sitting patiently (not patiently) for it to encrust and branch!

What par do you the Baton Rouge under? Last time I saw it under MHs, it was a beautiful dark blood red... Like intense blood red dark... Not brown dark like maroon or anything. Mine has only shown green polyps in one frag ever. I believe @bubbaque piece may have green polyps as well.

Little red Ferrari under 300 par but I think that's too much for it. I may move mine back down to 200-250.

Nice! My pinks come and go... More go lately because I had a recent alk spike but moving it to higher par definitely started pulling the pinks out more.

I’ll check the PAR this week...been meaning to bust out my meter and check. I have a “deep water” rock with multiple smooth skinned pieces on it. I’d guess it receives 200 or so. I think I’ve found my forever spot for the Ferrari.

I went on vacation this past week and of course my power went out! Internet never reset...My house sitter couldn’t figure out my router so I could monitor the tank. So when I got back, my Alk was 1.7 dKh low. Lost a lot of pinks throughout. That’s my alarm on problems.

I'd say I'm never wrong but then my wife would pop up out of nowhere and say otherwise. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Glad you guys like that Beach Bum! Can't go wrong with it!

Ty... is that CB jawdropper? [emoji50]
No, the real deal one. RRC Jawdropper... Though I believe he bought a large colony of the RRC Jawdropper from someone when their tank was crashing.

I know he has his own "Jawdropper" too. It's definitely not that one. [emoji44]

That spath is getting some nice blue on it's tips. I love those chunky aussie corals, just don't have the space to grow them out.
Thanks! Yeah, I'm seeing hot pinks on some coralite tips as well! I can't wait until it becomes a monster!
