Bumping this back up. How has this piece done for other people? Mine completely bleached out after receiving it, I nursed it back for 6 months and now its amazing.

Beautiful! Been looking for a nice willsoni for a while now. One of my favorite corals. Glad to see it came back around for you.

How exactly did you nurse it back to health after bleaching. I've seen this happen a few times with these and was not able to save them.

Wow, what lights and intensity do you have that under?
And did you buy a "big frag" or do you have substantial growth? If that later, what and how often are you feeding?

My Wilsoni frag was a 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" frag that also completely bleached out upon arrival. It has since colored up very closely to the original pic...but I can't get a good pic of it with my phone :(

For reference the Voodoo chalice behind it has a bright green rim and eyes...someone with a good camera took a pic of it when it was half as big :)

The Wilsoni has orange "eye" with fluorescent green(the frosty looking part) lining and dark dark purple(red?) ribs/body.

I have it on the sand bed, running AI Hydras @ 50% and has grown maybe 1/2". I used to feed it Fauna Marine LPS pellets every week or two, but the rest of the tank inhabitants tend to pick the food out of it before it digest them :( Based on your colors I'm thinking it might be time to move it up in the tank a bit!

Beautiful! Mine also came in totally bleached out but I was unable to get it to recover and slowly receded and eventually died. I tried everything. Good to see some had better results then me!

Very low light and flow and fed it twice a week if not more.
