That's a hell of a nice piece over there :mrgreen: Just put a fancy name on it :D

Looks like you are a vivid collection of smooth skin acros :smile:

hmm.. kelly did get a frag from me as well.

I lost my mother colony, so, I am trying to track down a frag of it from somebody.

I'm sure I can get you a frag, Peter. But it is still pretty small, and would like to grow it out a bit more. It's really taking off now, though, so shouldn't be too long.

Do you know what it is called? It's definitely a nice piece alright.

Red Planet still growing like crazy.... And can't get any redder than this.

And this is what it looked like just 11 months ago when I got the frag.

Well, actually, it was slow to start. Here it is from last Apr, just barely covering the plug.

And this is from Oct, barely 2 months ago.

As you can see, it has pretty well doubled in size in just the last 2 months. And the color is much better now. So it definitely likes something in my tank.

That is impressive. I can't believe how fast that has grown. Mine has just started to grow noticeably faster. I hope it takes off like yours :mrgreen:

What happens when a Setosa meets a Red Planet?

Who wins? I am OK if they just put up a border between them, but if one starts killing the other, then I will have to do something. I had to lay down an epoxy strip to stop my Sunset Monti from killing a neighbor SPS. Is that necessary again in this case, too?
