I swear I'm not purposely trying to repel you with some of these goofy as ever names, but it's just where we are at now. I mean in a world where acro names are convenient and make sense, this is clearly the Aquaman Table! Obvious cousin of the Superman with its blue tips and red body, The Aquaman has the same scheme only with green and orange. It's almost uncanny in fact. But let's just go ahead and call it the Aquatic-man table instead for fun. Or, you know what? If you've got something better then have at it. I am all ears.

But all kidding aside, this is a table like no other that I've seen. As the more familiar red, with blue tippers seems to be pretty common these days, this beauty is a distinct red/orange with teen tips and I absolutely love it! I've been secretly hoarding the surviving frag from an Aussie colony that perished a couple years ago now. What you see in the pic is all I've got of this thing. Maybe a little premature yet even to show off but I just had to shoot this thing today.

Probably one of the coolest and more unique tables I've have ever seen. Certainly a huge standout among my own collection. In fact the old Superman looks pretty "normal" next to this guy. Ultimately I don't really care so much. Call it whatever you like, but I just love stuff like this.

That looks awesome. In real life is it really that teal color, or is it more green?

HI there,

The tips are actually more iridescent in person. The camera could not really capture that well but they definitely are that teal color you see in these pics.

Interesting that it has the other branches a different color

Typical with grown out wild frags. Those were the actual original frag. As you can see they never really grew at all. The thriving part of the colony was formed by new branches that sprouted out of the base. Again that's not uncommon at all in my experience. :)

Thanks for the post

Holy cow! I like that! Its really different. On a side note, I am hearing that 80% of the GBR is bleaching. If that is true, do you think they will stop collecting soon? I hope it recovers because I really like those gems you grow out.
