I do like all of these options. Are any of these harder to color or may get different colors. I do like growth but colors are important to see who can get theirs to pop-).

These two have the potential to look very different than in my system:
GWS Grafted- The reefer I got it from had a bright purple base with neon green swirls
RR Tropicana- I've seen this completely orange with green encrusting edge and purple growth tips, but it's been very difficult to get there and once I frag it, it will be mostly green..

I voted RR Tropicana out of curiosity. I dont see anything about this piece online. I only see the anacropora. Any more info on that coral?
I was told that it went from RR to a few individuals (one of whom I got mine from) as well as TGC, and they spread more frags out so it’s out there mostly as TGC Tropicana.

You got a photo of the grafted GWS acro mother colony? That sounds the most interesting.
My picture above is the mother colony.. The branches are very large and the colony is about 8"x8" and there is a ton of coloring up to do which is why I think it has the most potential for change..
here is a picture from the originator who the coral came from..

Wasn’t the last grow out comp the same piece?
I think the last grow out was just 3 friends who did it for fun?
There's still a couple of days left for voting and quite a few of the growout entrants haven't voted yet..

Maybe you need to do a round 2 poll with just the top 2 choices.

Did the GWS green swirl ever grow into the main colony? Your photo of the mother colony didn't seem like it has any of the neon green running through it.

The picture I referenced on post #11 is from the source I got it from, mine has it in the base and developed a couple of swirls in random branches as well. I'll have to take more detailed pictures to capture it, but I believe the grafting/swirls develop randomly and should form on frags even if it didn't start with it.
