    Time to update thread with some progress shots of the SPS I added on 17th October

    as you can see, its now a bright green colour, when it was a pale yellow on introduction

    this one is now colouring up on the branches, when I got it just the tips had purple hints

    the best by far - this coral is turning a nice blue colour

    2nd best for me, some great overall purple colour up on this piece- it was the quickest to start colouring up

    the slowest of the group to colour up, its hard to capture on camera, but its developing a red tint to it now

    Steve the corals are coloring up nicely. They look better now than when they were added.

    Thank you Dasco

    you dont really notice it when you see them every day
    but when you get to compare images taked 1 month apart
    growth is easier to spot

    Looking great, congrats on getting the red and green ones. Playing blind man's bluff with the colors can be difficult.

    Your right 2 in 10
    It is a gamble at times
    I select based on shape, and the amount of growth over the plug mainly
    also PE
    I am getting a lot of blue to purple, but thats my lighting I believe
    under different lamp combos or different type of lamp, the colour of the symbiotic algae could be different
