Wow, the coloration is remarkably similar. If was more green when I received it with just "hints" of red. The polyps are very small as well, maybe 1/4-3/8". What is that one?

He registered here over a year and half ago and only has made 4 posts. This mystery person(to me) could be a hoax or some one over sea. In anycase, I love to see that monster colony though.

He's the owner of Old Town Aquarium in Chicago. Check his profile for his previous 3 posts. I'd say he's legit.
