    LOL I am sure there is something in your tank I would be jealous of, like that nice chalice in the avatar. Thanks for the kind words. :)

    Thank you very much. :)

    Thanks Daniel.

    Funny you should post that. If someone is willing to driving out to the country and buy a frag I do sell them. I can not however charge someone when I ship it. Shipping alone is too expensive, they grow easily for me and hopefully down the road someone will return the favor. Last two small colonies are going out in the next week, time to frag again.

    You don't even need to frag, you could just let it grow off the EC. LOL

    I have a question for you. Since I moved my RP to the DT, one of the tips started to turn white like the ones in your picture. It had white polyps that looked healthy, but the white seemed to be moving downward. Is it just accelerated growth? Mine is coloring back up from the electrical incident, and it's in a new location. I wasn't sure if it was normal, so I clipped that branch off just in case.

    Growing tips.

    Frags, under very indirect lighting. MH 20K Radium 7 hours per day. The Pocillopora frag is turning pretty green too.

    My bulb is probably 18" from coral frags.

    Whitening of tips normal in my experience, some accelerated growth.
