Picked up my first DBTC frag from ofzakaria today. The blue on the frag is out of this world! The picture does not do it justice. Hoping to put a couple of frags back into the chain by years end or early next year.

Wife:"Wow...that is really blue.The color on it is much nicer than your other corals."
Me: (quietly shedding a tear)

Who’s got a colony of size?
This has been in the club for many years now
I bought the original frag from wet pets in El Sobrante well over 10 years ago

Probably 6-8 have kept it alive
You can go here: https://barcode.bareefers.org/bc/frag/277
Then, click on "more" and then choose the "lineage" tab - which has a little folder tree icon.
The ones crossed out were reported dead.

I have this - First received from @kvosstra from perhaps 2009-2010, if I recall correctly. Rarely frag stuff anymore, but recently made a few small ones. Would prefer to let them heal for a month or two before passing them on, but located in SF when the time is right.
Seems it was around this time, but I don't recall the specifics. https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/palmer-39-s-blue-millipora.15050/

Well I had a frag that was growing well. I cut 2 frags off to continue the chain.
One frag RTN'd a few day later. o
The other frag was healing and it too RTN'd a few week later.
Just the other day I suddenly saw my main piece start to RTN and I cut a few branches off to see if I could save them, but to no avail. It all RTN'd the next day. Dang ,it was doing great for almost a year. I can't figure out what caused the RTN. All my other SPS are fine.
Seems like this coral is very sensitive to changes in parameters. The only thing I can see is a spike in Alk that might have caused it.
