A few more frags I have high hopes for...
PC Rainbow - added this week
Forest Fire Digi - I've fragged this a few times already so I guess I'm not too concerned...
Another new frag - WWC Yellow Tips - I've heard its a good grower! Fingers crossed...

Your garf bonsai looks like it has some white in the branch ends just before the tips. True garf bonsai is normally a more solid dark purple with much brighter green polyps. I could be wrong but I like your variant of that coral more honestly. Lots of light will really make that coral glow.

Corals look great and your rock is the cleanest I have ever seen. How about a FTS?

Are you absolutely sure that is a PC Rainbow in the top pic? I have never seen one with blue/green tips, yellow-green polyps, and purple rimmed corallites. Looks more like a wd or similarA few more frags I have high hopes for...

PC rainbows exhibit some funky colors as they grow big, mature tissue turns orange or red, but when its encrusting and first growing, green, blue and other colors are common.
EDIT: I was thinking the Red Planet was the PC rainbow. You're right in that it does look odd to have no red or orange color in it.... but it does do funky things when growing.

I got the PC Rainbow frag from a local club member, awesome SPS tank!. I must admit I've been struggling with getting my colors looking good...I am running my Radions at 80% using the AB+ program. My Nitrates and Phosphates were running at 0 so I started dosing KNO3 and KH2PO4. I'll check levels again this weekend, Wednesday my N's were 12 and my PO4 was .15...I stopped dosing PO4 and ramped down my N's a bit. I've got a few other frags that the colors right now aren't even close but hoping they color up....I'll post some pics in a few weeks and we will see. One more change, I'll be adding t5's this weekend.

Its been a while since I've updated my thread but I am dealing with a tank crash and GHA outbreak. Good news is I am am through it all but some of my sticks took a hit, browning out and some STN. I am back on track now and will post pics soon.

I don’t think that’s PC R either.
Agreed

I'll have to keep my eye on it. Colors are way off now but coming back.
