Looks awesome nick.
Ive seen this tank a few times in person. Looks even better than the photo's if that's possible.

Maybe I should have grabbed some too.  I think you cleared the tank out though!

The Purple one came from Aquatic Kingdom, I have no idea on a lineage but i know DFS sells it as Purpleicious Cyphastrea.. looks identical from what i can tell. it was a 50$ frag that was misplaced in the 25$ section and they said they'd honor it and since they were moving everything was 50% off.. so thats a 12.50$ coral.. cant go wrong with that.. the purple in it is really cool, its so deep that it kinda shines.. hard to explain and the photo doesnt capture that.

How did I miss that Purpleicious Cyphastrea. I remember you talking about some piece you got that was mixed up in the $25 section. Why in the hell didnt you make me get one??  Killer frag!

 

[Duke]

ill have some frags of that purple cyphastrea one day, hopefully this one below too. Took a couple photos with the RB leds on by themselves.. not many turned out.

I think I just found my next frag request.

It came from Hayes through jerry. I believe it's a decadia also? Just not the branching type.

If I remember correctly davesolo picked up a similar piece off me. I have 2 other varieties that are just starting to grow now. Will post photos this weekend.

 

[jroovers]

Great shots Duke, it isn't easy getting shots that turn out with just the RBs on, I think those are fantastic. 

 

[Darryl_V]

Is unibob Jerry??

Cyphastrea decadia is a branching cyphastrea.....so its not decadia.

Yes that's jerry.. Good to know Darryl . looking on reef farmers this is definitely the tyree blood red eyes, did u happen to give it or receive it from Dwayne?

 

[Darryl_V]

I think Dwayne and I both got them from Dave Jelly.

 

[unibob]

here is the blood read cyphastrea that is on cherrycorals right now.

looks very similar to one I have right now, except mine is more orange vs red.

 

[Darryl_V]

Ya there probably is some slightly different variants out there.  I cant confirm any linage for mine either other than where I got it from (Dave Jelly).

 

[Duke]

Ya cherry corals photo is way outta wack.. i doubt that piece looks like that in person, would be cool if it did tho.

I just got home so i took an actual day light photo of it now that i've had it for a bit. Does it look like the same piece you guys picked up Darryl?
