Wow that stuff grows like cancer in my tank. Strange.

I'll throw my name into the hat for a piece please?

Funny how some things grow like weed for me but others very slow compared to the same coral in someone elses tank. I notice all my monti caps and encrusting like sunset, indo superman, rainbow... all grow slow compared to other corals. My caps for example never grew out from the edges but have been encrusting for months and finally they are starting to grow away from the rocks.

Jay, it's yours. I will bring it to the December meeting.

Update!!!

Here it is in my tank, as Aldie described perfectly, it's like highlighter yellow.

 

[seminolecpa]

Yep and it grows like a weed . The polyps should be orange.

 

[badbread]

Uh oh, why are mine white?

 

[alve]

It should have orange polyps, like in the picture I put up of that exact same frag. How long did it take for the polyps to change to white? I had it on the side of my frag tank, in a lower light area.

It had white polyps when I put it in the tank. Not sure what happened to it, I had it in my cooler that whole day that had a hot water bottle in it. It's been in a moderate flow/moderate light area of my tank since I got it. I'm going to move it back a bit into a slightly lower light area and see what happens.

Update:

Moved it around a bit, cut down my light cycle, and started dosing amino acids, looks much better now!

Sorry to report this was one of the many causalities in my tank move.
