Phone pics suck but from left on the top of the fingers is BC Honeycomb, WWC Wow, Tyree pink lemonade, CB Pink Tip, random green. The palm is Cali tort the pinky also has WWC permafrost and the pointer also has Vic’s Loripes and sticking off the side of the thumb is a random I got from a local.

How are you liking the honeycomb?

So it’s been really hard for me to color up and the main frag has a Millie that is overtaking it so I cut the vertical growth off and moved it to the hand. The part left behind has some nice orange and bright yellow to it but it is subtle and very, very hard to get in a pic.

The part I moved to the hand is getting yellow highlights on the corallite edges but is basically a cream color otherwise.

That's pretty much how mine was forever. It sat and did nothing and I was never impressed with it. It finally started to grow and I am starting to like it. The main body is still brownish but the new branch growth towards the bottom I am starting to like.

Spend a quick minute with my reef.

Some newcomers to the acro garden. Got 5 corals from the Fraghouse live sale. Had never purchased thru him before but I am extremely pleased with everything about my order. Will for sure purchase again.

On the new branch rocks is Jason fox Chop Suey, FHC Face Wreck, Vivid Rainbow Delight (always wanted to see if I can color one up), Rainbow Loom (I now have possibly three identical corals Paletta Pink Tip, CB Pink Tip and now this) and up on the hand I stuck a blue Millie called Jason Fox Tranquil Mille.

Now, once this area grows out it will be pretty sweet.
