I got a nice piece of Pearlberry, but the color never stayed. It turned to a brownish color, and I've been disappointed with it. It hasn't grown a bit either. I just moved to my frag tank, so I'm gonna see if it colors up in there.

this coral likes a lot of light and flow, a friend of mine got a piece for real cheap that was brown and in a couple of months it colored up. now is one, if not the top, favorite coral for him in his tank. he has it at the top shelf of his tank (75 gal, mp 40, and a tek light with six 48" DD powerchromes and 2 strips of ecoxotic blue leds). good luck with the coral because is one of my favorites from ORA.

Big chalices huh. Thats another thing I never got into, but I do have a nice red/orange colored one. Its a few inches across and grows pretty good if I don't move it. Probably one of the brightest corals in the tank.

Thanks. I love the color of the Pearlberry, and was very excited to put in my tank, but it just browned up on me. It was up pretty high in my tank but probably got too much flow from the Vortech, as it was rocking back and forth sometimes, haha, just too lazy to move it.

It never did encrust, which I was disappointed with as well. Maybe it'll improve in the frag tank.

Space Monsters,campfires, and red hornets are on my list. But what I REALLY want, is a fully healed Flame thrower Chalice. Fully healed with one developed eye and the rim.... Not a booger with no eyes....I know, I am asking for a miracle

give it a try on the frag tank, but i'm telling you he has the mp 40 on wave mode all day and his tank is doing amazing, he's a ***** thou because he still hasn't given me a frag!!! he's new to the thread, we're trying to get him more in it and try to make a tank thread for him. his name is cholo, i'll try to get it up as soon as possible.

I just started getting into sps about 6 months ago and have my eyes set on getting a Garf Bonsai.

The only coral I'm currently looking for is a Yuki's Perfect 10 acan.

Thanks. I'll give it a little while in the frag tank, and if it doesn't color up, I'll try again in the display.
