I'm really surprised that no one else has posted. That's a really nice looking efflo, it is a wild piece or a 'named' aquacultured piece?
Would definitely like to see more efflo pics.

all about the diy!!!!!
I have owned 3 different efflos and I can't figure them out for the life of me haha... I never seem to get good color on mine at all currently I have the $500 and it's a brownish light pink color and that's it.... Had a mini colony at one time same thing just a Maroon color prolly brown lol.... I dont know if it's to much light or not enough I never seem to find a happy place for them...

Lee-
I have two, a larger colony piece and a smaller piece of the $500. I originally had them in the upper 1/3 of my tank, about 8" from the surface and couldn't get them to color up how I wanted. I noted the shoots on the shaded parts would bring out the brighter purple colors I was looking for. So I moved them both down to the lower 1/3 of the tank and have had much more color "pop."
Both are still getting mod-high flow that I think they appreciate though.

I've had a couple of Efflo's - Vivid's, $500, etc. Didn't have much luck at getting the $500 to color up - got tired of it and sold it locally. The Vivid's got to be around the size of a dinner plate. Ran out of room for it and sold it the other day. Here are some pics of the Vivid when I had it. They are great pieces and can grow quickly but they are very difficult to keep the color on once they get larger in my experience.
Holy crap I love efflos.
This ones straight off the site but has gained some size since this pic was taken. I'll try to get a newer pic up here.

I've always been obsessed about them as well. I had a really nice one from Ian, and then a $500 efflo frag I was growing out. I think efflos are the coolest looking acro out there. They are very hard to find sometimes though.

If have a spot for yours you should mount it sticking straight out the side if your rockwork. Make a little shade for some of those chalices.

yeah i just was checking mine and a portion of it was white i think its because i didn't relize that my power head was directly facing it so it just kept gettin beaten up with flow for a whole week so lets hop it recover!
