this is probably my favorite sps under blue LEDs. Using an orange lens filter and adjusting colors to what I see in person with Lightroom.
 
Snagged myself a little piece of this as well. Gorgeous plug you have there! Looking forward to seeing mine grow out.

I had read that it really likes to encrust and encrust until it runs out of plug the take off and that's exactly what it's doing for me. A month ago there were no tips on the edge.
 
I have a couple de fuego frags from different sources. So far, the one is doing just like you said, encrusting, but not pushing up much. Hopefully soon. Yours looks good, I can only hope mine will as well. I see you have one that is recovering in the background that's bright green on one side. I have a couple like that, that have gone from brown to this stupidly bright green. I am taking it as a good sign...accurate assumption?
 
That's exactly what i was told when i picked it up, and it showed in the mother colony. Was a beauty of a piece. Giant base.

Far right is the bioreef green goblin anacropora. The white on the bottom is actually glue. The white on the tip was an accidental dragging of it. A rock fell from above two nights ago and broke it at several places! It's a fast grower and EXTREMELY hardy.

Unless you're taking about the frag that is below and to the right. That's this: https://battlecorals.com/products/brads-frosty-strawberry

Ahh yes, anacropora. It just looked like it was darker on the top side, maybe just shadowing in the pic. I have what's probably the same thing, though called WWC Slimeball.

I've always assumed they are the same. Mine grows like a weed.
 
Thanks guys. I'll try to snap an updated pic under whites this week. ''Tis thing is the best looking coral I have at the moment and has simply exploded in growth.
