Nice!!!I got mine in July 2011 also.Got the same growth rate as yours untill a few months ago when i went to frag some off cause it started encrusting on the glass and end up breaking the whole colony in half.

Bummer! Did you keep both halves or sale/trade the other half?

From my experience as they turn into larger colonies the loose their green color. I tried the more light thing and it actually lost color...

Mine lost its green base under my halides , switched to Radion LED and the green is coming back around the base. This one defiantly colors up better under lower light. Mine is three quarters down tank and looks awesome

Wow simply amazing!

Mine still has the green base under halides, it is kind of hard to see in the pictures though. I actually have found that it loses the green base when I don't do water changes for a couple months. After a few water changes the green base comes back. I completely agree with the higher light more red and lower light more green though.
