plate pics

I've become fascinated with short tentacle plate corals, could some of you post pics. I wanted to see the range of colors. I'll start with my newest green plate.

and my old plate that eventually died...

I love plates! Gorgeous!

I've been looking for a purple with green tentacles like your second pic.

Those are beautiful. Mine I call "Audrey" after the plant in Little Shop of Horrors." It eats anything it can finagle close enough---can swallow an entire cross section of a people-food shrimp. It's roughly the shape and size of a biscuit after dark. Right now it's fighting a clam for space.

Yes I have had them move. They dont go fast that is for sure but it is annoying if you have other corals on the substrate nearby.
