Here is mine !!One of my all time favorite corals. Would love to get a piece.
It's been one of my favs since ATL released it, but basically a myth where I'm from. It's under a 6x24 sunpower with some blue LEDs set to 10%. Haven't tested Alk in a long time, but it usually sits around or just shy of 8. My yellow acros definitely love light. This piece sits in about 450 par.Man I love that coral! What lighting & ALK do you run? I can't keep a yellow coral to keeps its color in my tank for some reason.

Wow 450? I was under the impression that this was a deep water piece and therefore wanted lower light. But its very apparent yours is luvin the sun [emoji1]
Glad to see it fully encrusted. Keep us updated on its progression!
Looks to be doing well. Thanks for the update!Small update:
Well, I'm extremely happy this little guy made it through a tank crash and is still with me today. Been in the new system about 2 weeks now. Still getting around 450ish PAR. Colors are returning, and some promising nubs popping up. Thinking I will finally see some new growth other than base here in the next month or so.
Saw that you got a similar piece. Are you going to be keeping in under the Radions or T5?Looks to be doing well. Thanks for the update!
The guy I bought it from had it under radions, so I will probably do the same.Saw that you got a similar piece. Are you going to be keeping in under the Radions or T5?
It's been under T5's, in the other tank I had some strong LED supp. This system is 8x80w ATI no LEDs. It now has daytime PE which it never used to. Wish I could pinpoint the cause of that.The guy I bought it from had it under radions, so I will probably do the same.
What lighting are you using? I forgot.
I am not sure. I was buying several frags and I asked if he had anything else. He said he had a Caroliniana aka banana lokani.It's been under T5's, in the other tank I had some strong LED supp. This system is 8x80w ATI no LEDs. It now has daytime PE which it never used to.

Do you know if your source came from the Atlantis colony? It will be cool to see what you can pull out of your piece. These smoothies are truly unique.

Was messing around with a 5500k lamp the other day. Just to see what different corals looked like under a more natural spectrum. I was very surprised how much this thing pops under this type of lighting. iPhone pics do no justice for it's coloration, by far the brightest coral in my system. Update as well, finally seeing some upward growth in the last month or so and seems to be picking up speed.
I think it's hard for a camera to pick up how bright this thing can be. The guy who I got mine from came over yesterday and we talked about how bright it was.Was messing around with a 5500k lamp the other day.
