hmm...Sweet!
Just like anything else, it will be a while before people can tell what it is all about. It take a bit for any SPS to settle in, color up in each system, and start growing.
Till then....well it looks like a monti frag - nothing too crazy, yet.

IMO it just looks like an rainbow monti with heavy photoshop. I doubt that purple color will be there when it grows out. In fact, I wouldn't doubt if that purple color you see is actually brown...I can't believe the amount of hype it received and how many people actually dropped $150 on single frag of this unproven coral; when who knows what it's really going to turn into...The pictures he posted of the frags sure weren't impressive, it looked like a brown base red polyped monti...

I too am curious about this outcome.

what?
The edge of mine is purple!!! imagine that. The new growth edge blends into a light green and light blue at the edge. No orange base...yet. the polyps are bright orange. The colors have been true so far. Looks like a reverse rainbow...instead of polyps changing colors, the base does...very cool. I'll try to get some pics but my skills suck and the lights are currently off.
Its the real deal....

I thought about getting one but was concerned that the polyps would cover up all the color and all you would see is orange.
I have piece like that now and don't want two bright orange polyp monti's. So do the polyps cover up the base color?

I got mines and the frag I have has all the colors that was on the mother colony and is starting to show the baby blue rim No brown at all so I don't know why people are making that assumption. Here are a few pics from a few days after I got it. It laready has grown over the cut section since and the colors are more pronounced now. I will try to get a current pic of it soon. Oh yeah and I don't photo shop any of my pics so here it is.

wow roscoe. u got a nice one. mines about half that size! thats the only thing i was dissapointed in...the size of the frag, but whatever.
Well I got the piece that everyone wanted to claim LOL. I knew I was going to get that piece since I did spend $1200 with UWW a couple weeks before on a chalice colony. This is actually the 1st shipment I got which arrived to me 2 days late! It didn't look like that when it arrived. So Jason sent me a piece that was 3x that size to replace and that came in next day with no delays and that one ended up croaking on me. So I am very surprised this piece made it with the delay and almost ice cold water. I have to say i am happy with my piece and how everything was taken cared of accordingly with UWW.
