it, generally i read all posts, and only reply to some.

is spreading a little though slowly

Um... that would be me. I've not bought one for a long time, but did a
lot of
reading on it. I had a local vendor promise me a red one, which is
hardier to
keep.

When it came in yesterday, it was a purple/lemon one. sigh Anyway, it
didn't
open up in his tank even though all the yellow/green ones did. I got it
home
and in my 55g, and have watched it for the past 24 hours. It still hasn't
budded a single polyp, but 30 minutes ago the stalks are extended finally.

I took it anyway, because I knew it would have been dead in a matter of
days
otherwise. Still, I hope I didn't get a 'lemon.' LOL

I know a few people are keeping them longer than some say is possible,
there
are a few tricks and the color seems to matter, pink/red are aparently
the
easier to keep, I have a green one that is doing well and growing. I
think
like many things in this hobby that certain people are locked into there
opinions regardless of changes in the hobby. though I dont think
everyone
should jump out and buy one.

Does anyone have any knowledge of a flowerpot coral that's
pinkish-orange
in
color? It was given to me a little over a year ago, and it has grown
considerably. Am I "one of the lucky ones", or is this particular
coral
different from the other flowerpots that are usually sure to die in
captivity?
