Colors are very vivid! Worth it. Funny thing is I was looking at a JF psycho rim. Don't know why I did not pick it up
Funny because I never really payed attention to it untill I seen it recently. Very nice piece, the entire rim of the colony is a gold/green color.

Spent 40 bucks on Haitian live but dry rock at RAP. Got 6 pieces total, with 3 I came up with this. Curing this stuff now, it was so ridden with sponges and stuff I had to take a light power washing to it. Have no idea where it's going as of yet. But I like it!

Had to fix up my red planet colony. Got a few branch and table colonys i kept to growout(maybe sell or keep). Kept these 2 branches and glued them down to some fiji branch rock. Basically ruined the encrusted part of the coral but its ok. I cant find a recent video or photo of this acro. I finally had a growing coral touch the top of the water! Such a wonderful milestone! On the other hand 3 years later my green slimmer still hasnt grown. I think if i give him lower light, he'll start to grow again.

Guys please be carefull. I can't even explain how many people I've seen post this mushroom since the Godzilla hype came out. The Godzilla bounce is different. Each vesicle is mostly green with an orange cap.

this is the mushroom people are selling for 1,000s of dollars. I can understand if they were the same just named differently but they are absolutely not. This is NOT a Godzilla bounce guys! It is just a pretty yuma =) please be carefull!

Is that a skittles cyphastrea? I had the opportunity to pick one up but wasn't as nice, maybe because it was a fresh cut.

Nope, for some reason I don't really like the look of the Skittles cyphastrea.

Thanks for confirming
Ever since I seen this video from Jason fox I wanted this cyphastrea for so long. Finally got it from him at RAP. Does has a couple names for it though.

Wwc calls it I think rainbow madness
Jf calls it techno or something like that.
Arc calls it monetts madness. Top photo is where it all started(jfvideo), bottom is arcs photo from there live sale.
