So what makes an extreme coral an extreme? The fact that it often dies after it's fragged? Availability? Price? Slow growth? Well the green crossettes fit this, except price and maybe availability. Try and find some locally, go ahead I'll wait. These have grown a polyp or two in the eight months they've been in my tank. I try higher lighting, they don't open up as much. I try lower lighting, they don't open up as much. Same with flow, nothing really makes them happy. I fragged 5 polyps for my 3000 posts dbtc, and 3 died. The two that made it really aren't looking all that well. So, does this make it an "extreme"

not sure what a green crossettes isbut if its readily available for a good price then probably not extreme ...maybe difficult to frag but reproduces quickly?

It's ALL relative when it comes to the "wow" and to "$" amounts. I mean even dollar amounts vary from vendor to vendor here in Colorado. I think you personally make the judgment call and if the general concensus is that it isn't an extreme or a beginner, etc than you will hear about it from the other members lol.
