I have a fairly large space invader also but so like this one better. Under the right lights and camera angle it looks like lava flowing down
Absolutely. The texture is just as much as part of its eye appeal as the color. Mine appears to be doing well and gaining more color nuance. I have it in fairly low flow.

This thing is huge, just a massive shame its a walling hammer which means i'm too scared to frag it!

OK here's my entry.

Behold, in all it's glory, my Bleeding Apple Scolymia. Taken with a Samsung Galaxy S 24 with Corals Coral reef filter kit Under 2 Kessil A80 lights. It's about 2" to 2.5" across. No clue what the par is but it's a growing just fine.

Some great photos on here: first time throwing my hat in the ring here.

This is my Euphyllia Garden in the center of my 125g mixed reef. It’s a wider shot, showing my largest hammer colony at the top. This colony started as a single head 5 years ago. The other Phyllis range in age from 2 months to 2 years. Hope you enjoy the photo at the very least.
