Looking good Brett. If that abrolhosensis keeps growing like that I might even be able to get a piece of it back next year some time. I miss that coral.

I used the pellets on my Solana but the overall volume of them never really changed much over the course of months. I don't think they were working correctly and I think the reason was my Tunze 9002 basically pulled zero out. I wasn't impressed at all with that skimmer. I switched to RowaPhos and had a strange outbreak of some black algae. Now I'm using the BRS HC GFO and it seems to work better. Bit of a ramble there but no I'm not running anything besides carbon and gfo. I try my best to have the colours look true to life on my screen but I do find the mac screens show images less saturated. When I drag the photos over to my second screen the colours are maybe ever so slightly too colourful. Tough to say what you're seeing but it's close either way thanks for the nice words.

Yeah I spoke a bit soon on RC Greg but of course when I've got a couple branches going I'll snap you off a piece. Abrolhosensis... Abrolhosensis... Abrolhosensis... I originally pulled the spelling off your own site but have since obviously forgotten how to spell the darn thing. I can't get over the tips on this thing...the blue seems to actually glow I can't wait until I have a mini colony of the stuff.

"thread hi-jack"

Brett that coral went through several morphs & color changes for me over the years depending on the light and other conditions so here is a few examples of what it used to look like for me back in the day.

Lot's of light near the top.


With less light mid tank but it was more light blue than grey unlike the picture shows & the tips are always bright "dark" blue.

Holy cow those are the same?! Yeah mine is def much closer to the second pic. I think a lot of that has to do with PE. Mine is very hairy like your second pic and the polyps are a ice blue sorta colour.
