Didn't think it was pink lemonade because the tips are not as bright yellow and little different morphology. It seems too hairy for nasuta. It is pinker in person, not brown/purplish. Isnt there some pink limeade or something like that. I am just not sure yet.

Very nice! Could only wish to have something half as nice as your tank. And nice job on the photos!

That's called the, 'give John a frag'...j/k....very beautiful tank you have there, if I get my mine half as nice I will be happy.

Hey, thanks for the compliment. Getting ready to do some trimming because colonies are starting to sting each other

Is it true that the best way to keep SPS is to use Kalkwasser?
Don't know, I never used kalkwasser

It is a blue polyped nasuta. I think it could possibly be upscale microlades but I am not sure. I had an upscale microlades years ago but it never colored up. I also bought a frag of a blue polyped something from a hobbyist like a year ago and I am pretty sure this is it. He gave it his own name so who knows what this is. Except he charged a whole bunch for it and I went for it. It really is cool looking. When happy, the body or base color is a very cool green, the polyps always have that deep blue look. When the coral is not so happy, the green just kind of gets a faded look to it kind of like the blurry portion of the picture in the background. I was fooling around with getting this photo to post online--thanks for noticing.

So in the above photo (last reply), you can see the coolest, brightest, most fluorescent pink millie in the world ( I might be understating that). Below that is the coolest baby blue echinata. In the far right corner is a strawberrry shortcake and in the top right hand corner is a superman digitata (yes, blue body with orange/red polyps) I will find pictures and include them.







And yes, my bias may have led this to be a little bluer than it should be, but whatever, it is really blue body and awesome
The last coral wouldn't happen to be a superman digitata would it?

No I don't think so but I'll take a new pic tonite. Everything about my colony is paler and not that long polyp extension as on the plana. So either mine is different or just not as happy
