It's not the lighting. the first picture is taken in my tank room with just the over head lights after I moved the anemones. I got my first SB from a split that was bought from key's. These things glow. I couldnt take a bad picture if I wanted to. Just moved another to the sump. It's about 5 to 6 inches when inflated.
Was that a yes I can someone has one up north such as yourself or yes I can find pretty mushrooms rivaling the nem? Still learning a lot of the corals but I've been pretty happy that for the most part I actually like a lot of the simple corals more. My hairy mushroom I'd say is still like top 3 of any corals that I've seen to date.
