SWFanatic, nice collection and and nice pics.

I do not know what it is one that second one seems like few of those are out there and looking good. I think it is Favia family but not sure.

#2 looks like ouphyllia(sp).

Nice collection.

[SWFanatic]

Hi Chris,

I actually got a couple of the small acan frags from you a few months ago. They are growing out nicely.

[SWFanatic]

Thanks guys for the positive comments. I googled ouphyllia and I don't think it is, from the pictures I've seen. Still a mystery I guess.

[SWFanatic]

[mschriskim]

Sometimes prop tanks are cooler than display tanks.

[SWFanatic]

You're right, I look at my prop tank way more than my display.

[john37]

props on your prop tank!

[causeofhim]

Those pinks are beautiful!

[JnS]

RandyO- as always your corals are looking good

I've got the same pink micro and correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe that transparent pink color is a color that's bleached. Since then, the polyps have gotten a more solid pink instead of transparent, hairy instead of smooth, and contains green stripes under atinics.

[mschriskim]

Yup, actually that transparent pink turns solid pink than it turns Red....

I got that morph long time ago and turn it to Red/Green not only me good number of people who got them long time ago they all turn to Red/Green. : (

Hey SWFanatic,

Can we get a pic of your tanks now?

Thanks,

[agent911]

yep, i had that morph for a little over a year and it definetely does not stay pink. for the majority, acans and micros dont stay that hot pink. ive had about 5-6 different color morphs and as they mature and grow they turn red. i did however have one morph that stayed a hot pink, it's my fav. hehe.

Hi, if anyone had a pix of their pink micro's that has since regained its true color, please post them.

[nonamesright]

Holy cow, your off to a good start. Keep up the good work!!! And I hope your bank account can keep up too!!!

[Scissorhand]

a little bump, please post pix of this coral's true color if you have it:

I, too, bought one of the 'pink' micros. Both myself and the guy I got mine from (he got two by mistake, so sold me one) had issues with them. Both almost died off. I'm not sure how his is doing, but mine is finaly recovering, but is still very small (polyps are about half the size of the skeleton...). I'll see if I have a pic somewhere. It is going to be red and green, but has not filled in completely. I guess I got taken on that one...
