Just wanted to share some pics of my new frag...

Man your Red Planet looks nice, mine has unfortunately turned a deep red. It's not as bad as it did look though. What lighting and flow is that it?

They all do eventually

So how are they so nicely colored from ORA and in most stores? There has to be some "sweet spot" for it.

Mine is sitting on a nice spot... Thanks to Brian at OGallery...

Right now it is in my Biocube 14, under a 14k 70 watt sunpod. I have about 50x turnover in the tank. I just got it today, I am starting the frag lower in my tank and progressively over the week, moving it up.

Thanks for the comments:bigsmile:

Very few nice deep red SPS corals out there. Is that really a bad thing?

I have a frag I picked up in Jan. It hasn't really been growing fast for me. I've been lucky enough to keep the green base, though. It really has some strong color and great contrast!

pnoy: How has yours been growing?

awesome i cant wait for mine to get it. Im really excited because a friend of mine is making a big order directly from ORA with awesome prices!

SaraB · Mar 19, 2009

That's a great looking stick! Be sure to update the thread and show us how it progresses with growth and a possible color shift.

subielover · Mar 19, 2009

Well, I fragged the "stick" and left the base on the ORA plug. The large top portion is now fixed to its permanent location. I figure I will let the base portion regrow and then sell it:bigsmile: Funny thing is, ever since I fragged it(2 days ago) it has had the best polyp extension since I got it. So, I guess that means it is happy where it is. Such a nice piece. I will post some updated pics when I get a chance.

Updated pics...

Very nice. i need to post a pic of mine...

subielover · Mar 23, 2009

Yes you do. Feel free to post it on this thread if you like.

So from the picture it looks like your RP went ahead and turned red, does it have any green on it left? I moved mine to about 8 inches under my metal halide and now the base is a deep green instead of red, so hopefully itll gain that coloration back. I have NO CLUE how ORA keeps them colored up like that lol.

subielover · Mar 23, 2009

I fragged it. So the ORA base has the green part of the original frag. I am hoping that the large part(pictured) will table out with some nice green coloring. Only time will tell.
