You would have to take that up with the wife... I highly doubt it would happen since she hates this hobby with more passion than I love it with...:tounge:
we have a local club meeting on photography in a couple weeks hopefully I can figure it out...

I hope they give you all the help you need so you can feed us with some of those nice sticks you got in that tank of yours

It would be nice...
when I pull the pics from the camera with nikon transfer and I can blow them up it looks great....
I can't save them thou... I need to figure out how to use the photo process stuff or what to even use...
Photoshop has to many thingys for me I will never figure that out...lol

I bought a Hawkins from someone on here, is it normal that the tips and new growth are a nice deep purple fade to light purple then the classic blue I've seen.

Never seen that before Rob,the Hawkins I always see is a solid teal blue.

Poletti,may you bless me with your professional opinion

I'm not a professional, but I do not think its an ech because if the rounded tips and no stirations along an elongated branch. Its a nice piece for sure. Purples are always a great addition.
Back to my little hole in the world. :angel:

I would concure with you 100%, I would say it's the same as the 20k/30k Loki, sorry don't remember the species name off the top of my head. My guess would be lokina I think.

Mark,

What are your thoughts of the Hawkins being an A. awi? I've got a friend who has a huge colony of Hawkins (~8") that looks very much like the A. awi colonies in Corals of the World.

The purple and yellow tipped echinata-I'm not sure if I can post a pic of it... I'm thinking there might be a copyright issue. Maybe an incidental picture...
