See the attached picture. It's cool and all, but man is it lacking in color.

Reasons to keep:
Interesting growth pattern
Established well, happy and growing

Reasons to trade to LFS:
Bland color
Long sweepers

What do you think? Anyone have any pictures of pavona colonies? There's also a green pavona right next to the brown one.

Don't ever go scuba diving then. You will be disappointed as the reefs do not look like Mother Nature sprinkled Skittles all over them...

Serious reply - I would keep it. Unless it is taking up space you want or you have a color palate in mind it isn't harming anything. I have a green one scattered around my display here and there and my smaller fish like gobies like them. A couple of my smaller damsels also kick around them.
 
So I do have a green one as well (it is in the picture just to the right), but it doesn't have a cool growth pattern.

Do different colors grow differently?
