    I noticed a couple trying to open this AM. If I had to guess I would say an brownish orange. I get to work in the office today (my house) so I will know as soon as they open.

    Nice! I had to go into the office today so I'll get to see them once I get home. Hoping for something cool! The mat that they've made is weird and leathery.I may frag some off and make a cool little multi-colored plug. I have pics of mine in the thread called New Frags if you want to check em out :)

    It had a few open about 70%. Went to get the camera and the cleaner shrimp decided to cheeck them out and the closed again. Darn it. Look to have an orange polyp when they open. Will try again later.

    The purple one has some "stars" starting to come out. Maybe 1 or 2 Not enough for pics yet but close. The one in the 3rd pic seems to open then close. Does not stay open long and usually only 1 or 2 at time. Going to wait until a group open b4 taking pics.
    Thamks for all the help so far to all

    Whippy how are yours doing?

    My polyp chunk has a couple open, look kind of orangish brown....Hard to tell because lights were already out.

    my scraggly looking one hasn't done anything yet. I think it's dead :(

    I didn't get a #2 so I'm not sure. I have a scraggly one that hasn't opened so I'll let you know how long that one takes if it does anything.
