This is a frag of Robz Monti danae that he was kind enough to give to me!! It's about doubled in size. Very hard to get a pic of this guy, but it's a strong purple with red polyps.

Thanks, Nikki & Bob!!!
Here's another of that same coral - a different part of the coral doesn't show the tip color as well, but shows the body color better. The funny thing is that this coral was a nothing special color for a long time. I wonder if maybe it ingested some zoox from another coral because all of a sudden it colored up like this and has been getting better and better. ?

I keep forgetting to mention this interesting palythoa sp. that was a hitch hiker on some live rock. This was a pic of it in my old tank, but it's still hanging around. Doesn't like the higher flow in the big tank, so the polyps don't open as wide, but it seems happy.

TankGirl,
It looks like your coral ingested some of those pink Circus Cookies from Mother's Cookies. :-) Same color pink. (I don't think the East-coasters heard of Mother's though. There ARE advantages to living on the Left Coast. :-)

Hi PJ, I know!! Isn't that a crazy color? Mother's cookies aren't on the east coast?? That's awful!

Look at the side of this tricolor! Can't believe the color, considering that it's the side! (I didn't touch saturation - on any of these pics, but did adjust contrast using autocontrast on this one). This is the one that was dying when I got it, and the shape isn't very normal.

Here's a more recent pic of that palythoa. You can see how it stays more compact now (in the higher flow). Sorry about the coralline smudges.
