It's a unique color, I like it too. I'd like to see that purple/pink to brighten up as it heals up.

Nice! I keep telling people there's gold at a lot of LFS but it's good to have some proof :D

I'm playing coral lottery with a browned out Echinata I picked up for 10 bucks at a local store... and for that $10 it's a 5" frag. So far the mouths have turned to a pretty bright orange.

Thanks for the compliments!

When I see a coral that looks half way decent at any LFS I always snag it. IME it will look 2-3 times better in my tank right off the bat. That's the case with this one too. I say I got very lucky with this one though, I had my eye on it for several months. Glad it hung around that long.

Nice grab. I do the same too :). There's an odd acan frag I want to get at an LFS I frequent but I don't have any more space in my tank :/ plus I blew last months budget.
