I thought I’d share a frag I picked up from @ycnibrc, which has a fitting name: A Star is Born. This is turning out to be a true low key stunner, and the colors are developing nicely in my tank as it’s cookin. It’s been in my tank for about 2.5-3.0 months now? Perhaps Anthony can share more details of his colony, but I don’t think even the pics he has sent me captures the true rainbow nature of this acro. I’m glad I picked it up from him! Anyway, caught these pics tonight with my XS Max and PolypLab filter.

I bought it in a pack from him, but it also helps that he’s super cool with me! I’d PM personally if you’re truly interested.
Yeah I might just do that! I feel like a have alot of acropora corals but I didn't get many colorful ones. I kinda just just bought whatever and some really cheap frags and now I wish I had more "fancy" corals

@ycnibrc has some super healthy and fire pieces. You won’t be disappointed with his stuff. He’s gone above and beyond on a few occasions to help me out, he’s a genuine guy.

Here's the colony shot daylight n blue led. This is a wild piece from kupang Indo I got like 1.5 year ago. Depends on tank it will have pink magenta tip bright neon green polyps and neon green body to gold at the base. I run zeovit so my color is not as dark as John piece.

Anthony, this piece is quite nice. Nice pick up! I see purple, pinks, greens and hints of yellow in it for sure. Truly a rainbow piece. Thanks for letting me buy a piece.

Anthony was even hesitant to sell any until I kept nagging him.

Can we get a picture of it under daytime light?

This is how my eyes see this Mille, top down, at my max intensity setting. There’s no way I can take a photo without the 20k filter. It’s too blue without it.
