Lots of light if you want good color and out of it. Really loves it.

Very nice Walt Disney frag you have there. I find them to be very hardy and fast growers.

great frag! I'm thinking it might be time to up my game after seeing that

do you mind me asking what you paid?

i got a 2 incher about 2 weeks ago and it is already growing! Very hardy for such a prize piece. My acid trip millipora took 5 months to start growing.

Lots and lots of light and good flow. Mine has had excellent growth from the beginning

2" piece must be super nice.

+1 on hardiness. Mine have managed swings in everything while other sps suffer

crazy. that coral was going for close to $400 an inch a couple of years ago. either you got an early xmas treasure or the going rate has really become reasonable.

I’d say I got a little bit of both. A gem and my coral guy always take care of me.

I paid 200 for mine but it is more like a mini colony. main branch is 2" or so and has three other branches. Great piece, it had four cuts on it and they all healed completely in a week!
