I'm a fan of this coral not because of it's color but because it's be with me for so so long. To Hell and back. I'm being conservative when I tell you I have had this coral for over 17 years in 2015. ( updatesd to 22 years in 2020). It survived 5 days of 90 degree water,no lighting and no water circulation during 2004 hurricane power outage. Plus the tank looked like milk from all that died.
