I recently bought a small superman colony, maybe 2" around and am just wondering if anyone has a picture of a mature colony, for no reason other than I have never seen one.

It may just be me, but I only see a red X.

Both of those look awesome guys, how long did it take to grow them that large?

Mine started as a $150(after shipping) frag a couple years ago. If you look I have some more of it at 11 and 2 oclock from the mother colony and a couple more around the tank too. I really like the one at 2:00 because it's on a tonga branch and it's wrapped around it well. I've also made a few dozen 1/2-1" frags as well.

For best coloration I've noticed that when it runs out of room to grow on a rock, the polyps get very dense and it becomes harder to see the blue base through them. In my pic you can see that. It appears twice as orange/red in the pic as compared to in person but the photo illustrates the difference well.
