So I just want to post some pics of my favorite pieces in my tank throughout the years this will allow me to keep a record of what my tank coral colors looked like as well as a place I can direct people who may end up purchasing from me one day. I will try and include the earliest photo of the coral for comparison. So here goes the first coral :) . Also these will be Iphone pics so no editing and they are taken under 100% both white and blue channel black box leds and 2x 5ft Blue plus T-5 bulbs. Feel free to ask any questions!

From Battlecorals: but I am naming this "DP's Mint Chip Sarementosa" . It almost hurts to look at but it displays red polyps with a very vibrant mint colored skin. One of my favs currently in the tank

Yes this is an old picture but it has since grown and I actually have 2 pieces placed in my tank...One I was just going to toss when I moved the frag but I was persuaded to keep it and see what happened. Well it turned into this :) . It is now starting to show some vertical growth which the frags I made are just spreading like a monti lol.

Looks like a nice piece. Just curious why you'd want to change the name?

I feel like the name I gave it fits it just a little bit better IMO. But if you are looking for the piece on battlecorals it is "Rainbows Army" . lmk which name fits it better just because I am curious :)
 
Ok so I just got an update of one of my "dream corals" . Here is my...Pikachu I traded for with a local hobbyist!

Here is my NEWLEY released chalice. I have been growing this for about a year or two from a small 3/4in frag on the brink of death. It has a nice golden yellow eyes with a light ring near the inside and a redish orange skin with streaks of orange running vertical. The colors on camera do not give this coral Justice. I will get pics of the frags I made soon!
Here it is:
