Has anyone figured out Cherry Charms???

[khoff]

I've got CC higher up in the tank under more intense lighting. They have a solid goldish yellow to copper center with pink skirts, like they're supposed to... They look nice under my daylight LED's. I've also got the pink & gold/pandora/fairy dust from two different sources and have had them all over the tank but they still look about the same. The ones on the bottom of the tank are reaching more than the ones mid level, but they currently have similar coloration and brightness. The imitators (if you want to call them that) are more speckled than the CC...

Here are two pics. One under low light for a few weeks and one under high. Quite amazing the diffrence in color. They are the morphingist zoa I have had. The third picture is not mine but wanted to show another shot from someone else's tank

I moved mine up a bit yesterday. I'm gonna let them sit there a fee weeks and see what happens before moving them higher.

IMO, cherry charms are one of the most overrated polyps out there. They grow like weeds and dont hold up their gold centers and pink skirts. They grew dull in color for me and just kept growing with nothing to really show for it. Got rid of it after a few months.

I'm over here in the UK and I have some Paly's that look exactly like the OP's, they grow like weeds but we call them reverse space monsters. Are they the same morph as yours and just a different name?

Yeeeeeeeeeah all of the pictures... you guys... really stink... here is 2 or 3 weeks of high light moderate flow...

I'm not getting the more greenish variation like Tenors and ladyreefers. Sttarting to get a little bit of pink in the skirts, but its more of a thin pink stripe on a brown tentacle.

Ok get ready. I figured out how to use my new Canon... exposure = variable ap = F8.0 sh= "5

Now you can see what ive got.

Looks like a puddle of mud to be honest with you.

2-3 weeks isn't near long enough to let any coral color up. It's just like waiting for water to boil, the longer you stare at it, the longer it's gonna take to boil, or color up. I've had a pearlberry frag take almost 6 months to get that sweet baby blue and it's just the tips that have started to change. Patience is key

 

[Dsdaley77]

I have no time for patience

Wow. 2 months having these guys at the very top of the tank at extreme lights... the transformation is incredible. Ill snap some shots when the lights come on.

 

[larangcon]

Can't wait to see the result from 2 months up high. Just following along...

 

[BBoley24]

This was from this morning with the moon lights and indirect sunlight from the windows... I promise ill get a daylight picture! But you can see the obvious change in colors. I've never seen such a transformation in not just color but pattern and shades.

look at the progress....
