I am about to frag some stuff and need some space. The maze brain did great anywhere I put it, but it a slow grower in my tank since its very clean. The acan echinata and favia just sorta hung in there in my tank because its too bright and too clean. They like dirtier, lower light tanks to really thrive. Either way, these have been in my system a long time. All three for $120

Maze brain $60, started as a small frag and grew to this in 5 years in a clean tank. It's on a 4"x4" tile so you can judge how large it is. always maintains a nice color. I bought this one when I still lived in Washington DC

Green orange purple acan echinata $60. This one, when lit in lower light, has a marbled coloration of green, orange and purple. In high light it turns all green, in really low light it only goes to purple and orange. This one was peaking out from an overhang so one side was green and one side was orange and purple only. In a normal LPS lit tank, it will mix all colors all over. 

Here it is today tot he left of the maze brain (its been moved around to a few tanks so the color is transitioning:

Here it is under lower LED lights from 2 years ago(this coloration is easy to achieve with lower lights):

And the blue Favia is $25. hasn't done much in the 3 years I have had it.

Dublin?    damn.   That acan is fire.....

Its a stunner, I'm going to see if i can get it back to its old glory in my frag tank under lower light. If it stayed like that under high light,  i would keep it for sure!
