Anyone have a colony of BigR Rainbow Gumdrop

[dedragon]

Hard to find info on this echinata, ive seen a couple photos online but they look a bit touched up. Anyone actually own a colony of this acan?

 

[PatientZero]

I've seen them and IMO they don't look much different than a orange mottled echinata.

 

[dedragon]

Thats a bit disappointing but good thing i didnt buy one yet. Im gonna have to stick with a trusty rainbow chalice if i want those colors I guess

I just received this piece from a vendor. Definitely don't have a colony, just a frag. Mine doesn't have any red in it at all, but does have greens, blue, purple, orange, yellow.

Vendor's photo:

Their photo doesn't capture some of the yellows mixed in there when I see it in person, but otherwise I'd say their photo is very accurate for blue-dominated lighting. The gold is a bit more orange in my tank.

That's AquaSD right?

Nice frag, how does it look under normal lighting? Aquasd sometime blasts their corals with blue

It is ASD, yes. I'd post my own photo but i can't get a good one where the piece is located in my tank. I was a bit anxious about their photo when ordering, but I do feel they were accurate. I run a bit heavier blues on my tank in general, but when I have my most whites running the colors definitely aren't as vibrant. The orange and yellow still stand out very well, but the mottled blue/green isn't as apparent. The green is there on the mouth, but the larger patch of blue looks more grey to my eyes.

That's a beautiful piece for sure!

Yes it a nice piece! I have a jelly bean chalice that has colors like that. If the enchinata was a little bigger totally worth it.

 

[dedragon]

I went with a TCK amazing rainbow chalice instead for some more proven colors. Maybe we can frag swap @driftin once our pieces grow out and both score some great lineaged corals

That looks like a chalice rather than an echinata..

 

[authentic]

I thought so too but it's Mike's piece and his was an echinata

 

[PatientZero]

update, got one for a great price. Looks great right now but small, mine has orange, blue green and a little yellow but zero reds to it as well. Very nice piece though and probably one of the best echinatas

I picked up a frag from Zoanthids Live Sale back in April. I can't wait until it grows out...it'll be awhile.
