    gorgeous specimen Mainstream!
    did you hold it a while and let it shift color or was it straight from ORA to you and then right away to her?

    I came home after my training and the color on my Red planet looks ten times better! Definitely keep him low in the tank!

    Well it's only been a couple days, so I don't see a difference yet. I think I'm going to move it even lower actually.

    Funny I was just talking to Alston at Mainstream Aquatics today about the Red Planet I bought from him!

    I cut it at the base of the frag plug and epoxy'd the top half to a rock about four inches from the water surface in strong flow. This half has polyps extended but the color is a bit tan... the part on the frag plug in the sand has grown quite a bit and the color is much darker.

    I plan on moving my light closer to the water this weekend... it is pretty high now - I am curious what affect this will have.

    EDIT - I do not have actinics... this might explain the color a bit..
