Well I decided to try out my efforts on a hard one... Meet my rainbow Spath! one side doesn't have polyps as that was the shaded part from the sellers tank. Excited for this one! Pic taken 03/09/19

I love a nice spathulata! I'm on my second one in this tank... my first actually did pretty well, was growing with decent color. But I lost it last year in a contamination/mini-crash event. Just picked up another in January, it was pretty bleached out when I got it so still trying to get it to color-up. So far, so good.

That is a very nice, vibrant color on yours! They seem to pale out super easily, so I'd say you are off to a good start.
 
I just put this in the eye candy thread. I will say this.. when I do frag it, the frags grow extremely slow for some reason but the colony grows relatively fast.
Like purple monster type slowness

Awesome!
 
Well its doing good, minor base encrusting and little more color and PE. Snagged a couple more spath frags to test them out they are in my frag system though, great color on them too.
