    thats a nice frag too pufferchick, Never seen a blue looking one, I have a feeling that it will probably get green when it gets older though.

    Not long....Mine got this big in about 2-3 months. I have them in medium to low flow (Center of reef). I am using 8x54w T-5's. As far as the coraline, just be patient and keep good water quality. I have never added Purple Up or anything. It just happens naturally.

    Here is mine on the bottom left, dont mind the nasty sand, I sold a bunch of powerheads getting ready for the downsizing. It had 10 heads in that pic, and I have since fragged off a couple for a nice little crocra clam.
