Here are a few pics. Some with flash under 250 Watt Radium, and one under Powerbrite LEDs. The chalice in the actinic pic with the orange eyes bottom right of center is the My Miami.

that is one of the coolest coral. missed out when TAT first released and it was cheap, too.
it is a pretty fast grower.

I've seen a grown giant colony, it's hands down one of the best looking coral.

I don't think small frags of this coral are overly impressive, but when you see a larger colony you see how special the coral is, IMO.

No problem for me, as long as WWC doesn't mind!

Looks similar to your avatar in color, maybe a name change is in order.

the sweepers on these corals are 2-3" long so keep em away from anything you dont want dead..

Yes, I would like to see a picture of your green and purple center pectinia. Maybe we can trade.

I can see why Pectinia corals are aka Antler Coral.

My Space Invader is doing fine. It has one small sweeper tentacle I see at night. Not long enough to sting any neighbors...yet!
