Yours took basing out VERY SERIOUS lol that looks promising! Excited for you definitely gotta keep us in the loop!
my green splice. If you look at the right side there is one small branch that is getting red streaks. Hope it continues!
This is a resilient coral. I've recently upped my bio load quite a bit and have had some bumps and bruises along the way with nutrient issues (drastically increased feeding). While many of my acros definitely noticed the fluctuations, this one seems to have not cared at all.
This has been my experience with it as well. I battled AEFW but they never touched this coral. But to rid them from the tank I dismounted and dipped all my acros in KCL every 6 days for 5 times. This acro never lost color, polyp extension or growth. It just constantly chugs along no matter what.
I got mine in December 2021 I think. Maybe January 2022. Got it free from TCK during a promo they had for Black Friday.
very cool, keep us updated.Well boys, I believe it may be happening! Lol. This picture was taken about 5 minutes ago and there is definitely a blend of red coming in, but there appears to be a couple of spots with more defined red in them. It's very hard to get a decent picture because this piece is toward the front of my tank, my canopy doesn't allow for much access with the camera, and the red areas are on the backside of the coral (which receives the most light). So rather than a good top down, this is more or less shot from about a 45* angle over the coral. FWIW, this was taken at basically the peak of my light cycle w/ quite a bit of whites running.
It could be that it is simply morphing into more of a red hue, but it's fun to watch none the less.
very cool, keep us updated.
Even at a small frag ive kept mine at 350 par. SPS love higher par, 250 id is minimum.So I was about to buy an all green rainbow splice & join the support group but at the last minute vendor offered me an upgrade to a frag that had some red/purple for $200 extra , so of course , after reading this thread closely , I took the one with both colors
What par did you guys keep your frags at when they were small ? I have mine at about 250-275 but am worried it may be a bit strong since it’s such a small frag, I would hate to cook it
Maybe I should bring it down to 150-200 range ? And then move it up higher as it gets larger ?
Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated, I will definitely contribute to this post with updates as far as growth and how the color comes in , every few months , with good pics
I wouldn't have a problem putting it in 250-275 right away.

They seem to be pretty tolerant of a rang of par, I would shoot for 250 or higher. I have had people tell me they love high par (400 plus) but mine have done well in the 250-300 rangeSo I was about to buy an all green rainbow splice & join the support group but at the last minute vendor offered me an upgrade to a frag that had some red/purple for $200 extra , so of course , after reading this thread closely , I took the one with both colors

Thanks for letting me know , it came from 250 par so I put it in 250 but will slowly acclimate it to about 300-350 and see how it goes , here is an updated photoThey seem to be pretty tolerant of a rang of par, I would shoot for 250 or higher.
