[Rick]

the first pic is arround 6-7 months into growing this piece ill se if i can dig up an older pic i may have one but this is about a year and a half of growth (minus a few frags)

[Acronuts]

What color are the polyps? Btw nice growth!!!

 

[Rick]

Greenish under night led they haven't really ever extended much if at all during the day and the ones that do are the axial polyps

 

[Rick]

I'll have to get another pic up it's really put on some branches after the last time I fragged it

 

[KoleTang]

It is a very nice looking coral. Where did the name come from.

 

[UFreefer]

Awesome coral!

 

[Rick]

pics are months apart except the last two, but the name came when it was small it had a more deepwater lacey look that over shadowed the looks of the red dragon frag and we started calling it the dragon slayer, green base more intense reds and yellow/gold tips...... very nice coral.
It does look similar to the poison ivy from RR but this coral was a mariculture purchase (honestly before RR had it id say) and the colony was donated to LFS, when the kid who had it broke his 175 down. i bought a frag the day the LFS got it the colony was RTN a few weeks later
