Well I started getting back into SPS the past couple months... I took this colony of the RR purple prism as a project to see if I can still grow SPS... LOL... It was bleached out and not doing to well

This piece was from Aqua SD from Reef Raft.. I believe TGC got in the shipment from RR...... It had 2 frags cut off of it and then started to bleach. It was pretty bad but I saw that it still had some polyp extension and I threw out an offer for the colony. He took it so here it is today...LOL
