THANK YOU, pETE

That is a Red Dragon, I get it in three different colours in my tank (from the same piece. Light pink, dark red and sometimes it gets a little purple depending on the nutrient levels...

I have torn the tank apart this week trying to move stuff around and make some room. I will try to post some updated stuff by the weekend..

Rainbow loom has lost some of its purple in the move, but the orange is getting intense.
