    I have a new stick in the oven. Actually I have a few but I have one in the oven and 2 more on deck. So, with that said, here is the stick. David Martin says I have a blue thumb, let's find out together. BTW Doc, this one is supposed to turn blue and it has the same coralites as my really blue Tenuis. I believe the other 2 on deck are Tenuis' too.

    Right now it is still brown but blue is in the near future. 20160706_170456.jpg

    My bright blue one for reference although the camera doesn't capture the real color.

    I did get a piece. I brought it home, fragged a few small pieces off of it, and put it in different places in the tank. Nothing has changed but I only have PE on one of them. Ironically it is on the piece in the least amount of light.

    Hiya,

    Nice blue color!

    My piece of stage from the last meeting is still a dark brown. Though, I do still have it on the bottom of the tank. Waiting to cycle the nano and move some rock before I place them somewhere.

    Doc the frag I got is turning a blue color also! you'll laugh at the "frag" I mounted on one of the plugs its the whole big chunk we each got. I also am doing something right in the tank because my other sps frags that have just maintained a brown are turning electric green I'm getting the hang of this sps stuff......Finally

    19 days later, the color change is subtle but the growth is visible. 20160725_203458.jpg

    Doc,

    The growth spurt just started on that club coral. I have put on 1/8- 1/4 inch this month on several new growth tips

    You better watch your Ca and Alk! Their dosing needs will be rising if your SPS keeps growing like that!

    A decent month. It looks like the most growth came from the branch on the right closest to the rock.
