[Reef Goddess]

Looks like one to me, but my growth tips are white:

This coral seems to vary a lot under different light.

I was thinking the same thing!

 

[Hypertek99]

Yep i have seen them turn to mostly red. But luckly my has stayed very green and red tips

One thing that is for sure, it is a FAST grower!

Mine didn't grow at all when it was just one small branch, then I became irritated and broke the branch off. After that it started growing like a weed. lol That trick works for a lot of my frags.

Here is the link to our pic. I've just got an iMAC and I'm still learning this thing. I couldn't figure out how to copy my pic to this page.

I was at ORA before they released it and from what I recall it was a tabling Acro but I could be wrong.

Yeah, I've seen the mother colony of the coral that my frag came from and it also tables. I assume it's a prostrata from the growth. Its not furry enough and the corallites are more spread out than a millepora.
The guy I got my frags from said it was supposed to be the Aquarium City red mille, but its looks more like the Red Planet to me. I just got a bunch more frags so I want to sell my mini colony.

Pretty! What kind of lights do you have it under to maintain more green?

Thanks! 150wt Phoenix 14k. I only have the HQI on for 6hrs per day. Nothing else special than insuing that all levels are stable.

Oh I really need a frag of that! I just put some 150W Phoenix 14K bulbs over my tank!

Great piece, here's mine:

If only it would stay like that, my favorite time for most corals is just when they're about that size. They always seem to have the best coloring right as they're about to break out into a larger colony. It's almost like how the juvenile coloration on some fish is so much more vibrant than when it matures.
