Thanks lazylivin :)
Tankster no positive ID and no name. No one online or local to me has told me that they have seen this before. I will eventually call it some made up name I guess :)

shlap, it does look like the Rainbow Dash My little pony :)
Alan, the last pic posted was on March 12th (first page progression). I was going to post a new pic each month to see progression. It's only 13 days since the last shot :) Since you requested a pic, I'll post one later when all the lights come on ;)
NeverlosT, Thanks. I was pretty amazed when I saw this coral getting red polyps/coralites, especially since I had it for several months in a different reef with ordinary color.

Thanks Dan :)
shlap, thanks man. I do have one buddy in particular that gets great color under a mix of sol blues and vegas. He runs 8 of them over a 200DD with T5's. I'm sure he will get even better color than I do (which he normally does). IMO it's way more than lighting. This coral did not show the red color in my old tank. Until I started this new system it looked like a normal blue tenuis. I think the mix of high light and lots of feedings had something to do with this. This is the highest nitrate level that I have ever maintained (10ppm-25ppm) and I must say that my color look more healthy than ever. Po4 is maintained very low .00- .02

LOL that's exactly what it is. This with a 400w radium and it's hard not to get great colors :). It works with other lightings obviously ;)
I actually like the idea of calling it OMG! :) As for the $800 price, nah. I'll let others **** hobbyists ;). I'm more interested in spreading this coral to local tanks, and using it for some trading leverage in the future.
Thanks! :)
Here's a pic under blue LED Reefbrites. The polyps really fluoresce under blue LED:bigsmile:
