Pretty. Nice PE!
I'd spread out those colonies a bit. Give them each a few more inches (like 3+). Their close proximity to one another is going to slow down growth and they might start to fight when encrustation gets too close.

It's just the angle it was taken. The sky doppel I'd actually on a different branch

I'm not going to post a pic yet because I cannot get a good representation of color. Mine does look a lot like seargentslice's though. White polyps, a baby blue body, and fluorescent yellow/green coralalites. I'm only getting really good PE on the lower branches because I think my LEDs were too bright. I've turned them down a bit and I'll see how it responds.

This has potential to be my favorite acro in my tank though.

Okay me and you need to share our list of BC corals. We live too close to be buying the same pieces. Then we can trade [emoji41]

Here's mine. Terrible PE, but my color is pretty strong. I've got to say though, this is one of the hardes my corals to photograph. I just can't get the blue to show correctly. The fluorescent edges are true to real life though.

Mine also has ridiculous PE. It's still a frag and not a ton of color yet but I'm optimistic. It's worth it for the PE alone!

Mine had a ton of polyp extension but it's just in too high of light

Here's mine. I just moved it as it was getting pasted with light(and not enough nutrients). Hoping it gets a deeper blue with less light

By the way how is your growth on this one? It may have been a placement issue but this has been maybe my slowest growing acro in the tank

My growth is fairly slow, but it's growing and alive. That's all I ask for. It's pretty low in my tank and doesn't get great flow, so I assume it's partly my fault. B

It is very hard to get all the shades of blue and green in this slow grower, the colors on this piece are awesome. It is one I constantly get asked about by fellow reefers when they see my DT... Three months ago I increased the PAR to 350 - 400 and since then got a few shootings (on the back of the piece).
