Yeah, that one's blue.

Your clown seems to be a lot like mine - constantly seeking the spotlight and demanding attention from everyone around.

Your plants look really great, nice and full.
I'll have to check on mine later when the lights are on. I have one similar to your blue one, but it's struggling a bit. I'm hoping it pulls through. My other one, with the green and blue centers, is doing alright, but it's in a tricky spot for photos.
Mine seem to really dislike a lot of light - what about yours? That's actually how I initially damaged the blue one.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words.
The one on the right, yeah, it's blue with a dark brown tone to it. I got it when it was tiny, about half an inch in diameter, and it was really pale. I attached it to a small rock and it just started growing like crazy. These corals are really easy to care for, not too fussy about lighting or water flow. They're in a spot that looks pretty bright, but there's a frag rack above them that gives them some shade. They're also big eaters - they'll grab a pellet or flake sometimes, but they really love it when I give them live black worms as a treat.
