Wow, 75$ for a frag of that. I have one in my 90 that the skeleton is as big as a basketball. Guess it's time to frag that baby. Here is an old pic.

No trade just yet. I may be setting up a little business in my garage and will have a tank with all Rose BTA's.

Steve,
That thing is a monster !!! I am so very jealous... Euphylias are by far my favorite type of coral and I can only hope someday some of my colonies will reach that size. How long did it take to get that big?

I have had it for around four years. When I got it it was about four heads, now I can't count them. Here's the kicker, I got it from Aquacon before I knew better.

This pic is over a year old.

FWIW: That $75 specimen on Cquarium is the non-branching type, which is supposedly harder to find, hence the higher price.

I don't know if it's the coral Optimus is talking about, but I have seen a Frogspawn w/ purple on the bubbles in a friends tank. Trying to get a piece of it myself... But yes, where the 'tips' are usually green and white or green and pink, this one's got purple. It's also branching. Neat coral (especially when displayed amongst several other more normal colored frogspawns).

My LFS has a very nice green hammer with purple tips. It isn't the branching kind either. I'm not sure how hard those are to come by but I'm thinking about getting it when they open back up over the holidays. $65 for it. It is awsome though.

I have a few different colored frogspawns and hammers in my tank. I was able to get some pics this weekend. This first one is a hammer I picked up from East Coast Clams. It's about half the size of a basketball.




This one came from a frag swap, but I forget who from.




This one is from Reef Central member "Mad_drama" who was selling them at a recent swap. If I would have known it would look this good (base is MUCH greener than shows in the pic) a couple weeks after being put in the tank I would have bought all he had.
