Anyone else growing this guy out? I have had the coral for a few mths, it's fully encrusted now and starting to grow pretty well, it's going to be a showstopper! Under daylight raw photo

Nice, looks like a Nausuta with blue polyps. Almost like WWC blueberry or a blue limeade

This coral definitely deserves its own thread!

I've got a frag of this. Because of positioning and poor phone pic skills I cannot seem to capture it well. The purple polyps on it glow!

Thats about 11mths of growth. McMullen, how quick does your grow and what lights are you using? I'm using an ati 8x80w t5 fixture with 5 t5's and 3 led bar's. Its getting between 400-500 par. I run my alk between 7.5-8. As far as growth rate, once it was established it started growing pretty fast.

Got mine in December. It has encrusted the plug fully now and has little nubs starting to form.

I'm running eBay full spectrum Well Par 165watt x2 for my middle two units. Then ocean revive S026 on each end of tank. So four LED units on a four ft tank.

Not sure PAR, getting just over 100,000 LUX at water surface.

My alk runs around 8.5-9

I think too it will be fast grower.

I'll try and take another pic. :confused:
