I don't know, its hard to beat a red planet that looks like mine:
Where do you have your RP in regards to lighting. Thats probably the coolest looking RP I've ever seen. Sorry off topic.

I will not even bother to show mine.
It has been in tank since early summer...and the bottom now has crusted a little more than the size of a quarter. It has also almost doubled in size, but remains sort of a brownish color.
Occasionally I get flashes of green and blue, hopefully once I get it into my new reef, and get some stuff to control phosphates we will get the colors you guys are seeing. Cant wait to have my own colony of the stuff!

It is one of the prettiest "newer" corals to become all the rage and be on everyones 'wanted' list.
Hopefully it will be like all the others and come down in price as reefers grow it out and sell/trade frags.

I hear ya. I almost killed mine twice and it finally started to show good color when I left in revive for too long and it browned out again. It has grown pretty decently. I got it as a 1" frag and now it has multiple new branches all around the plug it it on.

I got a really nice piece of this my last order. Prices I have seen are really coming down, with small colonies available. My guess(and just a guess) is either someone can grow it fast, or they found a new area to collect it from. I am leaning twords the later. I have both the Red Planet and the Strawberry Shortcake. They look different enough in my tank for me to want both. The Red Planet seems to have a more vivid color base(in my tank). But of my are still just frags though. I can snap a few pics when I get home tonight, but both are small still. My RP though is starting to get some buds on it so hopefully soon it will grow a few branches. I was thrilled when I saw how big the shortcake frag was when I got it!

middle of the tank, both front to back and top to bottom. it's being blasted by a Fiji Purple and Blue Special. I'm not sure if the "interesting color" is good or bad. LoL.

I have noticed mine doesn't like light at all I have a few different frags and any of them I put up high bleach out like crazy..... Mid to bottom of the 2/3rds of the tank it seems happy... Might is a real light teal and pink...
