Got this from Upscales about 8 months ago as a 1" frag. If you can't tell from the pic it is bright lime green with pruple polyps.http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d167/rutz81/P7230004.jpg

Whomever can't tell what color that is, is colorblind. (pardon my grammar)

Thanks guys. The color and growth have both really picked up as of late.

I got that frag from Upscales as well about 8 months ago. Mine never made it out of frag stage, after about 2 months it melted away. I guess it just didn't take to my system. Very nice beautiful coral you go there, good job :D.

Nice piece Rutz. I have the same piece from Travis. Here the most recent picture. Took about 3 months to show any real growth. It's starting to really take off.

Rutz, and/or Naka, where do you have this piece placed out of curiousity. I have a piece (thanks James) and it's doing well, but want to double check on placement (light wise). Mine is currently Upper mid level.

I would suggest mid-level in your tank. I have mine about 8" from my bulbs and also a little to the right of direct light. I am runnig Iwasaki 15K175's(86 PPFD), so hope that helps.

Thanks rutz, that does help. Mine is between two 20k 400's (119 PPFD). 12" or so below the surface, but the bulbs are 16" off the water.

Thanks again.

No problem, and I think you may have that "magic touch" anyway; your TOTM was amazing! Good luck on the new setup.
