Battlecorals Vivid's Rainbow Acropora - Contest Discussion Thread

[smokin'reefer]

Just realized I left the "delight" out of the coral name

Is there a difference between the vivid rainbow and vivid rainbow delight?

The initial photo can count for this month but you can post another towards the end if you want, as well.

And yes, individual growth will probably be considered.

The entire contest is based on individual growth and color so I certainly hope its considered

Individual growth is the only thing that matters, right? All frags are not going to be the same when we get them and someone with a 1/2" taller frag from the start shouldn't have an advantage. It should be last pic height, minus first pic height to see how much you were able to grow a frag and not how big of a frag you received.

Exactly, the size of the frag does not matter.

Nope same coral

Well, the vivid's rainbow is not the most "instant gratification producing" acros out there. Its notorious for this and after being shipped and moved around for pics lack of color and PE is pretty expected. Keep an eye on the transformations of this one as this thread progresses. It will be fun to watch them blossom as im sure they will.

Glad you said that. I wouldn't have picked it out if I was looking at a shop or a stow. As a frag it doesn't scream "buy me". Now I'm wondering what all have I passed over when looking through some tanks. ;Blackeye

Oh yeah. Don’t overlook the bargain bin brown outs. Best steals in the hobby

Received my frags today, exactly on time, warm pack still warm, frags quadruple protected....thanks Adam and Battlecorals. Pics to come once I figure out how to “add media”.

 

[smokin'reefer]

Nope same coral

Thanx Adam.

Got my box in this morning. Getting a ruler tomorrow for the official entry. Vivids is the tall one in the middle.

Looks good! What's the piece on the far right? It has a cool looking growth pattern!

That's an Aussie Echinata. One of my favorites. @Battlecorals did a fantastic job on my box.

Unfortunately mine will not arrive till sometime next week. Bad weather makes shipping not worth the risk for this week. Will post my pic as soon as I receive.

My box got delayed in Indy and the frag(s) didnt make the 40+ hours in darkness even though they still had a bit of flesh on them when I finally got them from Fed Ex. ;Shifty Anyhow, Adam and I are working it out and I should have something for next week

 

[drblakjak55]

Got mine! Thanks Adam!

Good to see early pics. My frag looks like this.
Tomorrow will move frag rack to ten inches from twenty now. 24 inch deep 90 g

Remember for those who has received your frag that you are suppose to post a pic with a ruler within three days of receiving it. @leahfiish created a separate thread for the pics.

 

[Waalker]

Got mine, little awkward shape to measure.

 

[leahfiish]

Make sure you post official entry pictures in the entry thread, everyone!

Sorry, there’s the 57 page thread that resulted in the photos going to which thread other than this one?

Sorry, there’s the 57 page thread that resulted in the photos going to which thread other than this one?

It is also in the battlecorals sub forum.
It’s labeled. You should be able to find it.
