My Z's Prize... Heard it looks a lot like a Jason Fox Crazy T monti.

Though my favorite to see under actinics/UV is the CB flaming phoenix.

It is the most interesting reaction in coloration to UV I've seen in any coral. Just amazing.

What's your favorite monti?

I like Spongodes a lot because it can grow in so many interesting forms and shapes (plates, nodules, branches). But if the criteria was color, I would pick something like your JF Crazy T or maybe the Leng Sy Cap with the purple rim (which enhances mightily under UV like your Phoenix as you know).

I'd agree, spongodes has many unique growth forms, all beautiful.

C2C Calamity (actinic) - came in brown and not too exciting but I'm starting to see some potential

Unnamed Tenuis (actinic) - got this in a trade with someone in Dallas

Thanks Bubba! This is the pic from C2C for their Calamity acro. Hopefully it lives up to the pics posted.

Jason Fox Fire Dragon (actinic) - heard its the same thing as the WWC Little Red Ferarri... From pictures of it I'd say the Fire Dragon looks very similar.

New piece I got, MattV Psycho Asylum (actinic). I look forward to its color development in the tank.

I'll post my confetti pics here too instead of just in the thread for it.

Hope you guys don't mind. [emoji6]

That might be the greatest coral pic I have ever seen. Those top two photos have just won the internet and ruined me for the rest of my reef keeping life. And for you , I don't know that this can be improved on. How does it feel to stand at the pinnacle of the Mount Olympus of reefing?

Hilarious! You do have a way with words sir! I think its a nice photo but there are many great photos of corals these days. I appreciate the kind words and glad you enjoyed the photo. Now if only it looked like that under white lights! That would be epic!
