Hi Greg,
Cool pictures. It has an interesting growth form. The branches are really stubby. Do you have it in very high flow? Stylophora spp. are some of my favorite corals. It's nice you documented the color change. Thanks for posting.

Most of the Stylophora and Seriatopora I get in arrive quite brown and almost all of them turn bright pink in 3-4 weeks.

Regards,
Kevin

Kevin it is smack in the middle of the tank located directly under the center bracing so it is a little hard to photogragh top down. It gets pretty good random flow. When I got this coral it was about grapefruit size and it is now at least 7-8" across. I call this one my "rainbow stylo" since it won't turn completely pink. It gets various shades of yellow, green, pink and the lower areas still get bluish coloured polyps. Makes a good contrast against the yellow.
I bought it from a guy who thought it wasn't nice enough for his tank, but I think I got the better end of the deal.:badgrin:

I think it would be nice enough for any tank now :lol:
Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Cheers,
