Rainbow-Licious Plate

[ddiver]

Just wanted to share a pic of my True RAINBOW Fungia Cycloceris.This is my most prized coral in my collection.I've only seen 2 other true rainbow plates.One owned by one of our members(Viva'sReef) and the other owned by a guy who owns an upscale reef shop in Greenwich, Connecticut (featured in ReefBuilders a few years ago).I couldn't believe I stumbled upon this one and was given the opportunity to purchase such a rarity.Well anyway I hope you guys like....

Ha, finding that where we both live would be like hitting the lottery Chris :tongue:.....I actually got this from Perry at OIAB a few years back.He actually almost lost it due to an alk crash and when he sold it to me it had recovered fully but wasn't this nice until after a couple years in my tank.

Yea bro, had to turn down a couple of reasonable offers already...Just can't bring myself to let it go because I know it's going to be a long time until
I see another one...

I've never been into plates but this one is insane!

Don't know much about em. Are they fraggable like chalices? And how does growth compare to chalices?

ive seen people cut it like a pizza... but i have not tried it myself.. i also heard it take years to grow back into being round..
