Here's an old picture for comparison. The setosa is shown partially in the upper left corner. Like Karl said, the metalic orange just explodes in your tank.

Nice picture. The growth in the second pictures looks like a setosa with the branches.

Not sure if Eric (Ebn) did any touch up, but that is close to how it looks in the tank.

I have a similar experience as Mark. My Setosa is much brighter than the Orenji, always has been. I got the Setosa from Eric and the Orenji from Karl...both the real deal. My Setosa looks a lot brighter than the shot of Naka's but the Orenji looks a little darker than Naka's. So interesting how colors are in different tanks .

I am having some issues with my montis again in the tank, except the sunset and the setosa...all others, including the Orenji have die of of the base with polyps still out. This has happened in the past and I feel it is related to Potassium levels in the tank so I am attempting to bring this up. However, before the issues the Setosa was way brighter and the Orenji more of a deep, rich orange. No pictures at this point, sorry. My Setosa is growinig quicker as well. How about the rest of you...quicker growth on the Setosa than the Orenji??

Hi Rommell, I was out of the hobby for 7-8 months but I am back now. My tank should be here next week.

Hey James, nice to see you around.

James - Thanks for chiming in. Can't wait to see some update pics.

Rommell - You never called me back, man! You can come by anytime. The teardrop is doing fine (it's actually a green teardrop).

Alicia - Sorry to hear about the monti issue. The setosa is a very good grower. The Orenji, on the other hand, has been very slow.
