WOW! Your RR OP is looking good duke!! How big is it now?? Mine is growing well and I was just talked into clipping a small 1/2" piece....even the frag is looking good....seems like a hardy specimen so I'm sure it will thrive :)

and the plana from big als london. this one has really darkened up the green base.. i think it could handle higher lighting but i like where i have it so its going to stay for a bit.. and its holding my OP on top for a bit too ;-)

It actually looks pretty healthy, but good god man, do you use a magnifying glass to look at that frag?  ;)

It will grow no problem....like I said I just fragged mine and the frag is 1/2" at best but looks just as good or better than the colony. Not sure what species the RR OP is but it sure is a hardy one!!

I think it is A. Tenius, but not positive on that

Looks like it to me too. I took some top down shots and the polyps are really orange but i couldn't get a in focus shot. It was fresh cut when I got it so it's encrusting good, time will tell I guess.

I also thought it was a Tenius, but RR said it wasn't.  I can't remember if he gave me another species or he just didn't know.  Tenius grow fairly rapidly IME and this one doesn't seem to grow all that fast (although it is bulletproof)

It's not a tenius.... I thought so too but the structure and growth is much different than a tenius...
