Rich...at least yours is keeping some color and getting growth...mine has nothing except encrust down...it's right under a 250 Radium and gets blasted with alternating flow too...

The LFS's by me have been getting in quite a few Australian acropora spathulata. I never saw them before, I actually thought they were millis. They look similar except they are thicker branched. Just curious if anyone has experience with them and can comment on growth rate, color retention, longevity etc. I picked up these 2 yesterday (cell pic). The color looks better in person
Hey all
I have 2 specimens in my tank from the barrier reef. The first is coloured similar to the first pic and the second is bluer in colour with metallic flashes of green and orange.
They have been thriving for 6 months now and show good growth under Radion Gen2 pro's with the Warm whites turned down to 50% and overall intensity of 70%.
They have very high, random flow (2 x MP40's and 2 x RW-15's).
They sit about 40 cm from the lights, high up in the reef at PAR of ~500.That being said, I've fragged them and placed some pieces lower down in the reef where they've encrusted and grown (they grow quickly) at PAR values of ~200.
My PO4 varies between 0.02 and 0.04 ppm.
Here is a picture of one, but the colours are so hard to photograph.They are a lovely coral
Cheers,
Tony
Well it's beautiful, hit me up if you cut it, I love them as well.
