    nice and big too.. hope the polyps open up for you soon. Ive gone through 3 of them. I had 1 for 2 months and would never open.. just died. but the one I have now has almost been open everyday. :) just make sure its in good flow and direct light usally isnt recommended. if algae starts to form on branches, use a toothbrush to clean pores every so often.

    The blueberry is a beautiful coral, but impossible to keep alive.

    Congrats on your new gorg!

    yellows are easy.. My yellow gorg likes being in high flow and slightly under a overhang where its shaded probly 80%.. when they have 100%/full polyp extention they look awesome.. I feed mine pythoplankton once a week with a syringe/baster..
