need a new name for this cap...

[manderx]

we had been calling it the 'dookie-cap' because it was turkey-turd-tan all this time (about a year and a half). it had been relegated to the back corner of my frag tank and pretty much forgotten. but my latest 'event' that caused my big sebae and 2 acros to bleach but most other things to get a growth and color spurt has made me rethink this guy's name and place in the pecking order...

Am I seeing it right? Pinkish with bluish rim?

[SunDragon]

oops, wrong login(darn wife). It kinda reminds me of pink fleece. Or maybe baby girl pink cause its about the same color we painted my daughters room before she came out a son(had to repaint everything).

i'd say lavendar with blueish rim in real life. maybe a hint of green to the rim- maybe 'aquamarine', but that sounds too wannabe-LE for my taste. it just started getting color, i'm hoping it's not done. i'm hoping it doesn't go full purple, i already have one of those.

we need more pics of individual corals in this forum i think. i'm very curious to see what's going on in the big-city.

I think you should give me a piece to see how it turns out....hehe

Very nice Matt!

[cmoresps]

very impressive!

[manderx]

well, it's not *that* cool guys. it was just *really* unexpected coming from the dookie-cap. it reminds me that 'divers don't collect brown corals'.

come on, i want to see some pics of the cool stuffs you guys no doubt have, since i can't just swing by...

[mr294]

Not the best picture, but it's one of my favorite pieces. It grew out of a misc. brown frag I picked up for free.

New Name for Cap. Hum, Can we call it Charlie's Cap.? (didn't think so- but had to try)
Brandon, I wish now - I had not turned down any brown frags!!! Very nice piece!

I have one that was like that no color at first, now i call it purple monster(i think its a wanabee though) but it looks nice. I had a large colony of it then it started to rtn on me, this was what i saved. Been growing without rtn for 3 months. Its base is growing and looks very healthy. http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/500/39993100_0158__Medium_.JPG
