Something Unique SPS wise

First off a few pictures of two of my corals. The first is a soloman islands Nuclear Green type Slimer. Extremely slow grower compared to other slimers. I have probably gotten 6 inches worth of growth in 1yr 5 months. Slimer photos are from Middle of January



and my Garf Bonzai back in December



Well while looking at my tank today I noticed that my bonzai had grown into the slimer. No biggy they will just kill some tissue on each other and that will be that. With the lights off it became apparent that wasnt quite the case. Yes they had killed off some of the tissue of each other.......but......... There is now purple pigment starting to run up the base of the slimer.

GRAFTED..... I have heard of Divaracatas taking Pociliopora pigments, and montis taking other monti pigments and a few simplex taking on pigmentation, but never thought that something like that would occur in my tank, especially with something like a Yongei, and the slowest growing Yongei that I ever seen. I will try and get some pictures but we are talking about a shaded region of the coral and about a 1/4" of pigmentation.
I tried to give a closer up view not the best but about the best I can get without a macro

 

Very interesting and well documented.

The GARF has a great growth pattern.

So those of us that pay attention to sps threads have seen your Garf, Slimmer and RP. I would like to see more.

Thank you for sharing.

 

And you will. I am in the process of my 260g acrylic SPS dominated build, which I have been documenting on my local boards site, MARSH. I need to snap some more current pictures of my sps, which I might get to this afternoon.

 

Subbed. Nice looking stuff! I'd love to try that GARF some time.

 

Great post. I have a similar experience with my slimer. That Bonzai is gorgeous too - congrats. Any other SPS in your tank?

i would die to see a bonsai slimer

 

That is really cool about the bonzai and the slimer. I can't wait to see more pics and the upgrade.

 

That's really awesome.
