Here are mine. They don't seem to be as popular as they use to be. But there also is not a lot a variance in their look. I do have one that has

the normal green polyps but with a deep blue center eye. When it is fully open the tentacles are so long you can not see the blue centers. I disturbed it to get the polyps when the tentacles are not as long. Not a good picture but you can see the blue centers. The larger one is just regular green.

I bought a canary yellow one, 6 years ago. It was brighter than my yellow tang, you could see it from next door!!. it was so bright. But it turned a pale blue/green, and been the same ever since. I wish I could get that color back.

Here my blue eyed one at light when the polyps are out but not fully extended.

It almost sounds like it was bleached and finally grew back its zooxanthellae.

I've had this one about 3 years now; a fairly slow grower but it's probably doubled in size (~7" across now).

I was hoping to see some Turbinaria reniformis I have a couple pieces now but they are recovering so I didn't want to post them yet they are rescue pieces from a friend with deep pockets and no patients.

I use to have a yellow one. Like pagoda cup painfully slow grower, but the pagoda at least always has polyps out. Mine was just boring scroll coral. It got devoured by my montipora spongodes. I have seen nice shade of green one it was a jason fox edition. WWC use to have some frags of it.

Well here u go its a crappy pic and the polyps are out way more when it's lights out

 

[J77]

Man I'm sorry that pic really sucks its way more purple and yellow than it looks

 

[TarHeelReefer22]

No that is awesome I am considering making these some of my new additions and I wanted to see other potential growth patterns.

 

[J77]

Yeah I really like the way that one has grown its in a pretty high flow area probably like 10inch from mp10 so it def get blasted pretty well

 

[TarHeelReefer22]

I also have a mp10 and have a hard time with it over 50 percent corals just seem to get hammered even sps become irritated! More pics will be great!

 

[J77]

Here a couple more pics it seems to do great in high light high flow as far as the one I have goes

 

[J77]

And the plates are really thick on this guy most of the ones I've seen seem to be thinner

 

[J77]

I also have mp10 on reef rest mode jacked all the way up seems to love it

 

[TarHeelReefer22]

I don't know I have to break my tank down again this week to move into my new place so I will have to move stuff! Keep the pics coming I love this
