Soliera robusta.

what ever it is, its dieing.

Thanks alot man...I read the link that you posted, and i believe you nailed it. The desription says "a constriction at the base of each branch" which i can clearly see in my specimen.

 

The dark red color at the tips of the branches was not there 3 days ago when the rock was in my nc12dx with its pc lighting (i even posted a question on how to rid my tank of it due to its horrable looks). The color has just shown up now that it is in my 20H with T5 HO lighting (i kind of like it now)...think it is making a come back?

 

God i can't believe i want a Macro in my display to live, whats this world coming to?

if its starting to get color, i'd say its making a comeback.

i figured it the other way around (red turning white) and assumed it was dieing

i guess thats why the say, when you assume, your just making an ASS of U and ME.
