Although a poor picture the center top is still from that strain of frogspawn. Now I frag for money the Hybrid (Scuba Steve) shown surrounding it. I just down sized from a 310 to a 120. The original was a 5' 158g

I have tried to keep most of the GSP downsized in my home tank, but still have quite a bit that I frag from my office tank. The original rock a friend gave me but it was full flat worms that I had to dip

Here is same Euphyllia under MH in my old office tank
65 MH CLOSE.JPG

With Euphillia lighting has everything to do with the color. When I first got it in one of my tanks due to not enough UV it was brown. I remember picking up an orange hammer, which in my tank was green. To get it to orange I had to use very blue LEDS. Which when my G5 XR15's late in the evening it will turn the Hybrid orange also.

Hammer started as 3 heads maybe 5 years ago. This is an older pic. It's getting to be the size of a large hand and I had to emergency frag it cuz it fell from the weight where I mounted it.
The other pic was before I fragged it in February or is now the same size and needing to be fragged again. I took an inch of all the way around. Not the oldest maybe 3 or 4 years in my system. It started as a large plug. Wife won it in a raffle. (she hates when I frag it so I have to be careful)

I like to trade corals a lot so nothing usually stays for too long , but these green hitchhiking zoas and Pandora zoas have been in the tank for 10 months

Great thread Idea. My tank is only setup since March so nothing crazy. Looking forward to seeing more old colonies.
