A Gem Growing Under My Nose

[seth&angelle]

This acro has been randomly growing in my frag tank on the egg crate. Don’t really know where it came from. I took a closer look today and dang! It’s always looked boring and green, but I added radion Gen5s a few weeks ago. Let me know what y’all think! Also if anyone recognizes it or if I might have something new.

Very unusual piece. The blue tips look incredible. I like it.

I'm with @vetteguy53081 thinking it was a strawberry shortcake variety.

I have had many of shortcakes over the past 10 years, so definitely a possibility. I never seen one with a growth pattern like this. I seem to remember their coralite structures being larger more pronounced?

Each one responds to light, flow and nutrients which affects appearance

Not a shortcake imo, definitely not Microclados. Maybe you do have something new? Growth and colors look very unique
