Anyone have these old school in their system? Pic for attention please and where is it in your tank and under what lighting? I have two healthy colony that grow extremely well but no colors. Mine is sitting under 650 par but still no color

Who's colony is pictured? I have never seen a blue one, that's sick!
One of my favorite corals but takes so long to get the maricultured ones to start growing well.

That's an amazing piece. One of the biggest I have seen. Is it pinkish red? Doesn't look as blue as I thought now that I expanded the image, maybe the lights make it look that way, or my partial colorblind eyes. What did you grow it from? Maricultured, wild or from someone's colony? Got anymore pics?
I really think genetics probably plays a huge role in why a lot of people struggle with these species. Along with its demands for high light and the need to encrusted a large area to support it's big branches. What's everyone's view on it? A lot of people have trouble with abros when they come in.

This is a wild frag that i got awhile back. I thought it supposed to be pink green. Im not sure the actual colors because i got it brown. The one you saw doesnt encrust much on the base it just branch out. I frag a few to local reefer here at $10 each and none can keep it alive. The nature of its colors, no one knows. I posted here in r2r along in reef central and sps group page but no one house this specie.
