    Wow, that RP really loves your tank! That's some amazing growth you got going on in there. Beautiful color, too.

    Yup it's actual a tan color where it receives no lighting, it almost looks like wood.

    Thank you.

    Thank you Mr.Bill.

    There area people that can not keep it and it drives them nuts. I try no to say it's really easy and hardy because some can not keep it.

    I can not keep Bird Nest it drives me crazy. Every year or so I try it only to remind myself of the fail.

    Thank you so much reefer Bob. :)

    It makes it very rewarding when other hobbyist find all my nerdy stuff interesting, or at least worth looking at.

    As the title says, it's the 3 year mark. This Red Planet has been fragged about 5 times. The base has some areas of die off in the most shaded areas, no STN knock on wood. The corals has totally encrusted surrounding rock structures.

    Very nice. Every time I see the color in that coral, I just hope that mine turns out somewhat close to it. :)
