Are you talking about the Mike Paletta's Purple Porities

If you are talking about the "Limited Edition" Mike Paletta's Purple Porites, then yes it looks just like the picture. The one I got from LA was totally brown when it arrived and took a couple months to start getting it's color back, but now it is very nice.

I have something similar....white polyp purple porites that develops a green growth edge when things are perfect. Unfortunately its easy to get off its game and any disturbance sets it back to purplish-brown with no edge color.

I havent managed to get a good pic yet.

I have this one. I like the polyps a little bit better.

Marko9, that's a real nice piece. Does that porites actually look as blue as that photo? Would love to see a pic of it in your tank for comparison.

I have not been able to get a good shot of it. I moved it this last weekend when moving some thing a round. Here is one from a month ago. I will try to get one later on as well. I still think it is more purple & lavender than blue.

No, I wish its the paletta. Im waiting for it to be available for months now. I thinking of the one in the aquacultured section. The purple with white polyps. Marko, is that the one?

Would like to see the paletta one grown out a bit too. If someone has.

No, this piece actually was intoduced at the BACFM from Eric (FF) and it was made a AE about three weeks later.
