Thanks Chuck!

That red planet piece is absolutely stellar.  The colours are coming out like crazy now.  I don't have anything else like it in the tank, and in fact I took a frag and am going to grow it in two places on the off chance of RTN at some point (you never know).  I know teebone got a good piece too, wonder how his is making out.

It's doing awesome!!!

Definetly a show stopper.

I have 2 other "Red Planet" frags I am growing out as well. Neither one can compare to Chuck's

I have read they will colour up differently based on their distance from the lighting, like most acros.

I of course can't get a shot that does the damn thing justice, but the thing has red, green, white, and purple horseshoes in it.  I 'scaped it horizontally, so I can see the topside, and it's just insane.  That piece you have would have been $2000 if you bought it local.  I think we owe Chuck a beer  

To be honest when I got it home, I was sort of 'meh' with it.  But now....

I'll bet that pic you took doesn't do it justice either

Agreed.. Chuck is the man!  I wish I could take some decent pics to do it justice. I am just working on progression shots so I can take note of new growth and hopefully colour improvements some day. It is one of my favorites right now too!

I'll take you up on that beer someday

Yeah, those were like mini colonies rather than frags, I'm glad you guys are enjoying them!
It is a surprisingly hardy and aggressive coral that grows pretty fast, loves light and lots of flow.
Mine just overtook a red samarenseis coral.
It's the real deal red planet got it at a MASM swap 3 years ago, and the guy claimed his stock was one of the first in the mid-west-who knows, anyways i call it awesome!
I'm just glad that those pieces went home with guys who knew what they were doing

Definitely looks different then my red planet. Good scores, interested in seeing the progression Teebone.

Well I can't speak for Teebone, but I can't honestly say I know what I'm doing.

I have it in a spot with lots of growing space, I was hoping this was a good grower.  Excellent polyp extension, especially while feeding.  Hopefully I keep it happy.
