ACro getting some weird colors!

[david p.]

guys, what do you think of this ?
it's a random acro i got a maybe 4-5 months ago, nothing really special about it. It start to show signs of growth in the past couple of week.

i have never seen stripes of colors like this, its only present on new tips,i see some orange and green. New polyps seems to become bright green.

Wow "nothing special" I think you got a winner. That is one beauty. Keep doing what you are doing and keep posting pics of it cause I think it's going to turn into a really nice acro

Yea, I'd also like to see updates on this bad boy! Those little blips of color are crazy. I've had the zooxanthellae make like an "oozing" morph but not those blips on an acro. I'll have to look through my photos for the "ooze" I'm talking about.

The "oozing" on the encrusting new growth I was talking about. Sorry for the Iphone pic

Close up pictures usually will unveil more details that we will not see with naked eyes, not only on colors but corallite structure as well. Can read more from http://coral.aims.gov.au/info/structure-skeleton.jsp

you are right, first thing i saw were the new green polyp. then while looking closely and after taking the macro shot, i could not see the orange stripes.

Try taking a close up pictures from top. You will see more colors than we usually do. You might have some jaw breaking corals in there

I added 2 days ago a 3rd radion G3 pro on my 48'' tank. now perpendicular to the tank for better coverage. Running at 80% with wide lense. That coral is at 250PAR aprox.
