Default calcium suggestion

Not only that, but I believe it has almost doubled in size. I'll have to look
at some of the first pictures of it, and compare to newer pictures to be sure.
But yes, it has quite a bit of purple, and the very tips continue to be light
green.

It is a tough coral to take a picture of, and get accurate colors, but it is
great to look at. Btw, it is up high in my tank, not in direct flow, but
directly beneath the 175w 10,000K bulb.

I didn't even know that other coral was growing at all, it was in a nook where
it was never disturbed. I'd noticed the base was expanding some, but that is
always hard to see, and suddenly it was half white. I did a Lugol's dip for 1
hour, but it didn't phase the RTN one bit.

That coral was mid height in my tank, and centered where it got flow from both
sides, but never directly on the coral.

Dang!! That bites!! Sorry to hear it.
At least it started growing for you! The other one just like it is still
stagnant, zero growth. I may have it in too high of either flow, or light.
I'll have to try moving it around the tank a bit and see what happens.
I also noticed, from your recent batch of photos, that the tri-color is
REALLY getting some blue/purple to it!
