Aussie Gold..1 of my fav sticks!

[dknuckles]

Camera on loan to family, so believe it or not this is an iPhone 4 pic

I have had this for some time. It is one of my fav sticks!
This piece originally came from Reef Raft Canada then I obtained this coral through Juniormc8704.
AG grows best (well..most colorful) in lower light. The coral in pic was grown under AI SOL Blue LEDs @ about 75par. I do run a LNS but not bio-pellets, only ProDibio Biodigest and Grey Goose. Tri weekly/Lugol's, weekly/PD Reef Booster
Recently noticed it REALLY LOVES OYSTER FEAST!!

Looks identical to the miyagi tort...none the less a nice piece regardless...

 

[dknuckles]

Thank you
Color yes, growth structure much different (when colony. Have owned both) Has more of a ledge type growth and branches never get any thicker.

Awesome!

Very nice piece. Can't wait to see it as a colony.

I know another reefer that is using the dosing method you are using. LOL

Stole the words right out of my mouth. +1 miyagi-looking. Beautiful acro!

You have the best collection of high end David!

Thank you,
When mine were side by side they both had much different growth pattern and structure. It has a ledge type growth that almost refuses to grow vertically, central stalk is straight end to end (vs thick then tapering), and hates light!!! Miyagi loved light! AG colors best around 75-100 par. High light =brown, low light metallic gold base blue tip and polyp. Miyagi browns out and dies (for me anyway) w/ low light

Well everyone good news!
First a big Thank you to Robby (robby2782) for taking the coral to Tyree for me..hugely appreciated!!! Thank you
My Aussie Gold has just been sold on reeffarmers.com/ Tyree's buy it now page! Labeled as RR AG (RR was the original collector so appropriate title)
I thought I would share

Also keep in mind...yellow tip?.?.not on this coral! The Jedi mind trick does not work here lol I have had this acro under MH, MH&T5, T5, LED&MH&T5, any now all LED combinations for many years. The gold base was @ it's peak when under Phoenix 14k MH 250HQI w/2- AS 22k T5s, that was when I coined the name. Consistent w/ all the reefers that I had given frags to over many years.

Tyree's pic on Buy It Now (this is a pic of a nicely colored frag growing under MH not LED...no yellow tip)

I will post a few additional pics I have from over the years
Can always google dknuckles reef tour captive reefs to see some old DT shots.

Thanks for looking
