Very nice! I will be interested to know how/if yours change at all as they mature. Some of my polyps have really long skirts, I am trying to figure out if it is the more mature polyps or some other reason....

It's way too early to chop! I just got them yesterday

It's the special woman's touch! Zoa's and paly's seem to like my tank. They grow like crazy

I'm just kidding around, but they do look great!
Can you come and touch mine,so they will grow better!

Forgot to update. I traded then up for some Acan's last week. The colony had grown to 8 heads and then for some reason didn't look good any longer. I didn't find any hitchhikers in it when I did a dip, moved it to a different location and 2 heads disappeared. Figured it's better to let it go to a better home and at the same time get new stuff in return.
I may get another frag next week and see how well it does on a frag rack that I now have. Before I had the frags on the sandbed and I don't think that is the best place for them.

Hey Spidey,
would you mind posting your tank specs that you had these in? Some of my mauls look funny, I'm trying to figure out why. I have 2 frags looking great, main colony looking less great in a different area of the same tank. I am suspecting flow and/or lighting differences are making one group happier than the other...this may be one of those corals which is very particular about such things....
Thanks

I had them in our 75:
Lights: 2x150W MH fixture
Flow: 2 x Koralia #4 and 1 Koralia #3 + 910 gph coming from the sump
Water parameters:
- calcium 420-450
- magnesium ~1400+
- pH between 8.25 - 8.45
- nitrate 0.5
- nitrite and ammonia 0
LPS and polyps with about 100lbs of LR.
DM's liked being on the back side of the tank (see-through setup) in a medium high flow and medium low lighting. I then moved them to the other side to low flow, same light and probably didn't like that at all. I had done 2 Lugol dips in a week.
