Lets See Your Tri-Colored Coral Pictures

Now that I have my tank nicely stocked with small colonies and frags, I am really leaning towards Tri-Colored SPS as my favorites. So lets see yours.

Wow! Thank you so very much. That really makes me feel good hearing your compliments. (no fragging planned though)

My other tri colors are valida, secale (I'm only guessing because it was only labeled tri color), and one that physically looks like the chips acro.

The one that looks like the ORA chips is super fuzzy all the time, and gets very blue purple (w/light colored polyps). It was labeled a tri color, but it's more like a deuce color. I still love it!

Are any of those from the tri-color valida frag I gave you? Either way, looks great...

McCliffy- No, unfortunately the one you gave me (thank you) didn't make the ride home.
How's yours doing?

Here are 2 others I have, some of the pics are w/wo flash. If you can ID it that would be even better!

First one is a Valida:




These are the unknown tricolor multiple pics with and without flash of different frags....I wanted to see what they look like in different lighting conditions.

LOWER LIGHT:





HIGHER LIGHT:






It's hard to take pictures of the body. In higher light, the body turns kind of yellow/lime color.


Love, love, love tricolors.

Sugartooth, the last four look like really fuzzy ORA Miami Orchids. Nice looking pieces or piece.

I'm bad with names, but here's a tri-color beauty I picked up at Sho-Tank this summer:



I'd guess it's grown about 30% since I got it.
