I found a 1/4in broken frag of it with another coral and was able to grow(lucky) it to a very small colony.I'll name it "BAR Blues" let see if it sticks ;D Not sure maybe a turaki? I gave Perry a frag at the last swap.Survived my low water ,low alk ,low temp,and rtn.mini-crashes. :-[
Can do 1 maybe 2 fargs.Will be small 1/4-1/2. :-[

Oh no, not another coral naming thread :) jk It's rather stick-BAR like and the BAR doesn't cause anyone blues so maybe Blue BAR would be better :) Not as catchy but still a good play on words? Anyway, nice blue!

Just wondering, how long did it take for that to grow out?

Come on Eric, it has BAR in the name :) Ok, seriously I agree. Thinking it needs to be moved too.

Wayland, this the I won in the raffle? If so I'll call it a DBTC item, if this is the one it's really tough, it fell off my frag rack and I didn't notice it for a few days, when I found it it looked the same!

[/quote]Keep it up buddy, it's my only score, and for now it's in the X!

BTW, You keep talking like that and I'll wish my raffle Karma on you >:( ;D (where's the Bi-Polar smilie?)

Sorry, Wayland. The frag I got from you didn't survive the Coral Revive and Iodine dipping. The rest of the corals I got from the swap made it.

Not really a rule, but just going by what's been listed in the DBTCX listings. Usually, they're lineaged or have an extremely high demand.

the only thing I ever won in the raffle was "Super Xenia". I was sad, out of all the other raffle items I get xenia... along with all the other xenia I had.

I still have it! and it's pretty boring, it didn't even pulse.

anyway, cool turaki =)
