    I picked this up at the Fish Bowl last week. I believe they said it was non-photosynthetic, but I just wanted to make sure.

    That sure looks a lot like the one that I had that was photosynthetic. Usually the ones with white or bright colored polyps are the NPS ones. Nice! Probably doesn't matter, everything thrives in your tanks!:D

    Looks very similar to the one we had a meeting a couple of years ago. I still have mine and it's extremely hardy, and yes, photosynthetic.

    That's the one I was referring to. I gave one of mine to Michael. The other one was "eaten" by my orange monti.

    Thanks David and John. I moved it to the back corner of the tank, and it is polyped out and showing some growth. I'll have to post a photo now that it's adjusted to my tank. But it's a nice piece.
