I've had my frag a month or so. It has encrusted a bit, and shown better color, but I think this one's gonna need to grow out a bit before it shows it's true potential.
I have the coral and its one of the best looking corals in my tank. I think Ive had it for about 1 1/2 years. It has really taken off since moving it to the highest point in my tank. I hope this helps.
I have it also (around 6 months)..got it as a small 1/2" frag..its covering plug ..but a slow grower for me!! it currently looking like pooh..reaquascaped and browned out most of my sps..
I have a frag of it that a friend cut for me from his colony. He said it will look brown with purple/blue tips but once it starts taking off it looks awesome. His colony is prob a size off a volleyball. It look awesome when you look at it from the top
