My god- I was thinking I was going to have to call out PS-BS...

That youtube video smacked me in the face. I'm drooling now.

Frag that sucker and share the wealth man- I'll pay GOOD for a frag of that.

It's all good guys. If I didn't have this coral in my tank I would call BS as well. If anyone has any doubts just let me know how you want me to take a photo of it.

This coral is not something that I bought looking like this. Here are a few pics of the change over the last 6 months.

I haven't ever gotten an accurate photo from my iPhone because of the blue hue it causes.

So I guess that ones been iphoned, not photoshopped.

blakers82 · 04/28/2014, 03:47 AM

Ivan, so that piece isn't even "wowww?"

That piece has got to be killer! You should throw up the other photos of that guy. Congrats on the upgrade, by the way. I'll call real soon.

btb72 · 04/28/2014, 01:41 PM

Flamron. just admit you were completely wrong on calling this guy out as bad as you did.. (which was pretty bad) and beautiful coral.

flamron · 04/28/2014, 01:42 PM

Nope.

UTCReefer · 04/28/2014, 08:29 PM

I have a pretty cool one (or atleast i think it is) the red/pink highlights come and go. Im not sure what the trigger is yet.

Stunning piece,

Piper27 · 04/29/2014, 05:26 AM

Nice colony UTCreefer, I wonder if the pinkish colors come out more on branches that are exposed horizontally, which are just in the beginning of turning from a green color to start new growth? Looks like a colony of the same coral the other guy posted, not really sure who the OP is. I would GUESS when his grows out into a colony you will only be able to see the blue tips.

Ime corals can look so much different in a different tank with different lighting, and different flow. Also colors like the pink in thoes corals posted are sometimes harder to keep than other corals colors. The first one I posted looses the blue color anytime its moved or messed with. And also took a lot of time and the right bulb combo to develop those colors. With bland lights and low par it's a completely different coral.

I am looking forward to seeing other people's unique corals! Keep it going.

ryanrid · 04/29/2014, 08:56 PM

still a frag but very unique

Bello · 04/30/2014, 01:29 AM

That's a stunner Ryan

sahin · 04/30/2014, 03:07 AM

Wow Ryan, that is a stunner for sure! Keep it safe, want to see what it looks like when its grown a little.

jackson6745 · 04/30/2014, 04:26 AM

Ryan, that's a awesome piece. So much potential there.
