Weird! I hope he’s ok

My guess is he got locked up while attempting to start a revolution down in Mexico, again.

Nice! I just grabbed one yesterday from there as well. I have it in QT at the moment and it definitely doesn't look like much right now, but I'm excited about this one.

I think thats who I bought mine from as well. I can't actually remember where all my frags came from. I definitely went over budget. haha

Here it is. Hoping others add to this thread.

That looks good! Much nicer than the frag that I got.

I picked one up from Coralicious as well. I'm miffed because i scuffed the top of the frag myself and gave it a little abrasion. Otherwise, nice healthy frag.

Amazing Randy. I wonder why there are barely any photos of this piece anywhere online?

Are these the normal colors for it? Does it get more orange like the regular one?

My polyps are pretty orange. The skin is a mix of green and blue.

so the base in our photos is pretty accurate to what you have? I like the red but orange would be cool as well. Guess its going to depend on our lighting. What do you have yours under?

Great piece and photo skill Randy. I also pick up a one from the coral farmers market. What are your water parameters like? cause the PE on mine is not nearly as good as your. What camera are you using to take that picture? Thanks

Mines under a lot of blue LEDs (hydra26hds). The polyps are fluorescent orange. PAR is between 300-350.

get yours from coralicious? it had crazy polyp extension in his tank and does in my tank as well. Mine looks almost exactly like Randy's. It would be cool if everyone that got one this weekend kept updating this thread with pics and our lighting setups.

How much did you pay? I paid $80.

Mine as of this morning. iPhone with Polyp Lab filter

I have mine under about 400 par of T5 lights. 5 B+, 1 C+, 1 actinic, 1 KZ Fiji Pink

I got mine from Coralicious too but paid lots more than $80 . Haven’t been to one of these for years and got excited seeing so many nice pieces. My bad.

Thanks! Definitely think the polyps are supposed to get brighter orange. I’m keeping mine under Radion Pros G4 under 18,500k spectrum. Getting around 300-350 Par.

Thanks! I used a Canon 7D with an EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro lens. White balance was adjusted using Lightroom.

How is everyone's frags doing? I decided to "micro-frag" my piece into three to see if it would grow any faster.

Oct 4 - Here it is right after I chopped it up.

Nov 8 (35 days later) - Looks like a couple of the encrustation from two of the pieces are about to merge
