Marvin, Very nice!! I wonder why you aren't having any growth on these. You seem to have such great luck!! I guess you havn't found the "sweet spot" yet!!

I have no idea either... I will keeping my eye on them for the next month or so.. I dunno if they're still settling in or they just don't like me... LoLz..

I havent found good luck on these either. I have a 3 polyp peice that was 1 polyp 3 months ago. So very slow grower for me.....

Steve, atleast they grew for you.. ;)

mine are still the same when I got them.. and it's been almost 3 months.. :lol:

Well have you tried higher light or more/less flow?

I also am struggling with my pink elephants. I got 2 polyps from Miguel in August. I now have 5 polyps. I wish these guys grew as fast as nuclear greens do.

I thought that posting pics of my new favorite micro is a great way to jumpstart the LPS Week I have prepared for you guys.. since you've had the first two weeks of POTD with zoas, I thought I'd mixed it up a little.. :)

That's an awesome micro Marv. That night shot is crazy looking since you can really see the color variations in the middle. Good stuff.
