I was wondering about Msman's polyps there on the bottom left. They look to be about the size of a quarter, and none of the button polyps I have had have ever gotten that big...?

:D

Grandis have a very specific look. Its not just the size. You can tell them from normal button polyps. Look at the ones posted as grandis. They all have a similar shape and look. Msman's look nothing like a grandis, IMO.

I got some. They might be my favorite coral. I've had these a year and a half. They started as one full grown and one or two babies. I have split them since this picture was taken. They do color up with less light and don't seem to like too much flow. I have two other with far less color then these (I buy any P. grandis I find).

I can't get a good picture of them that shows the color. With the right light they turn a really nice golden green. This picture shows a lot of color but they really look better in person (we all say that don't we).

Finally got some Grandis myself.....Thanks to Chelsey for such a great trade..Grandis around here and a few other places in Michigan go for $20-$40 a polyp.....Chelsey hooked me up....I can't wait to see what they color up too, and I feed them today and they are pigs.

Man I love those Grandis, specially when they are blue and green. I even like the brown looking ones.

Probably the best pic I have of mine, I never would have guessed a combo of white, green, and brown could be so colorful in person!
