...and that's all I have to say about that....

So Wayne, do you miss having a tank yet?

No offense but, I just don't see what all the hype is about. It's purple and it grows slow. Cool but not $150 cool.

yes its a cool looking coral, Yes i have a nice frag of it.........if your into the uncommen then it is for you. The coral is rare and does not grow fast at all so Frags take longer to grow. I happen to love mine becuase its purple and its a rare SPs. Also not to many people have the real deal so the real true tyree purple monster cost $$$$$$ I got mine from fragfarmmer who got it from tyree him self.

P.S. I will try and post a picture later.

thanks i love them for more then the 75-150 doller price tag i like the way they grow its diffrent then most others more like a bush close together and that one shown above is the only one i have ever seen larger (other then tyree's that is also R.I.P) so keep them comeing please

I like how stubby & close together the branches are on the PM. Plus I think the purple is an amazing color.

Unfortunately, this colony is no-longer either. My experience with the growth rate was that initially it was slow, then once established it really starts to take off, and fragging it actually seemed to enhance growth.

As a large colony the pm is absolutely amazing!

Rich,

You had the largest PM colony I've ever seen in my life. It's an amazing piece.

I don't have an update shot, but in reference to it's growth rate, it took 18 months for a 1/4" nub from Rich, to get to this:

Crazy slow!

that would have to be the buggest one ever would you happin to have a full shot of it? and very nice frag btw

great job on growing it out Karl!

it was snookered in between a tort and some other acro's which made it difficult to get a clean shot. here's a few more just for grins.

:D Hey Marshal when you get everything settled into your new tank, I'd like to get a piece of PM from you.

here is mine got it from tyree when he came to our clubs meeting. It was just shy of 1/2 inch of brown glory.
Now it looks like this

ok quick question it seems like some ppl have white tinted polyps and other have green what one does the real pm have the tyree one or is it give a slight color change under diffrent k bulbs

The polyps on mine change color depending on depth in the tank and bulb temp/age.

A little info on the Tyree PM

And for those asking about why the price? Check ReefFarmers (the second link), it is reserved through March of 2012!

NP Gary, I may have to cut mine up to finance the restocking :lol:
