No I don't mind what you're saying at all, nor did I take offense to anything you said @pa1ntbru5h -- I'm just very direct, and frequently people will think I'm upset when I'm not (just my writing I guess). As for Vu I was just teasing a little, didn't expect that to be taken seriously. Maybe I need to use more emoji's or something.
Anywho -- All the PC Superman i've seen have that same growth pattern as mine and All Delights. So it's not that i'm taken aback by the fact mine may not be real, but that I've never seen one that looked different -- I had no ideal that every PC Superman didn't look exactly like mine, so this is news to me, and I thought Vu was wrong. But seeing another person come in and say theirs looks different too has given me something to look into.
As for blues, I thought Darrel ran T5's, and with my T5's they look the same as this picture down below. My spectrum would probably look about 16k to the eyes, I run 3B+, 2C+, 1P+.
Until this thread, this is what I thought all PC Superman looked like (Darrels again)
And here's a quick and dirty above-view of mine, which came out a little dark as I have to use tupperware and a Point and Shoot for above colony pics
It's still a table, but the growth structure is different. If you look at the coralites they are also shaped differently than a milli, that's another reason why I believed Vu was wrong, as it seemed like a miss-identification.
I will also say my tank seriously lacked flow when I was running mp10's, and tanks with very high flow often have non-tabling acroporas turn into tables, and some lower flow tanks have had tables grow funny as well. Mine only recently picked up growth with the addition of doubling flow.
Looking through the threads here at R2R (especially the PC Superman thread) I can see people are posting both mine, and VU's.
Example of one like mine (note the coralite structure)
Examples of ones not like mine (Look at the coralite growth structure)
I never really delved into studying the coral. I just saw ones that looked like mine and didn't give it a second thought. But after looking into it I do clearly see 2 totally different growth types, though both are tabling acroporas.
