    Hey you!

    The skin at the top is white, at the base it's still emerald green and becomes progressively lighter toward the tips.

    Over all it's about 5 inches tall and 4 inches wide side to side at the tabling.

    I've been around, but I'm so busy with work I have to go into lurking mode, mostly reading.:p

    The reason I asked about the color, is that I've seen many Red Planets lately, and they all seem to look different. Color and polyp-wise.

    A reefer friend of mine, who I helped set up his first tank, bought a SPS frag pack from the same guy that I got my RP from. He is building a LED fixture, and asked if he could keep his corals in my growout tank until he's finished with the light (in exchange for a small frag of each). He couldn't remember what the names of the corals were, which kinda helps to know where to put what. One of them was a deep emerald green, no red. I asked him if it was a RP, and he thought it was something else. Now, after a few weeks, it's getting red polyps.
