!!!BEST STUBBIE EVER GREG C. ACROBERRY!!!

[Battlecorals]

The way that I talk would have me saying something like, I don't know what it is about this thing...

But that's just not going to work out here, because I know very well what it is about this thing that I like so much. This is one of those acros I have had a long long time now, but no matter how much it's become a permanent part of the landscape in all my systems, I can't seem to stop admiring it's uniquely rich coloration, and perfectly stubby formation.

Like most of my collection, unfortunately I can't say what species it really is, (happy to have anymore that knows chime in though) but I haven't got anything that's quite like it at all.

While the Acroberry is kind of a sleeper, those of you that have seen some of the pics of this one floating around, have probably had this one on your list ever since. I'd consider it a necessary member of any serious sps collection. I have been able to pull some pink out of mine but there's a lot more to this one than what I'm showcasing here even. At it's finest, you'll see more pink for sure. I think I got my frag from Leo at CR about 5-6 years ago but I may be wrong. It's been about that long but I guess I'm not 100% sure on where it came from. I think it was Leo though.

Anyway. Here's another acro I've had long enough to take for granted but still can't get over how much I love.

The Greg Carroll Acroberry! Long captive, and available today at Battlecorals!

Great acro. I remember seeing this in Greg's tank back in the day. Tyree did not make this an Le because he could not get it to color up the same why Greg did. Yes back in the days things were just not made an LE to become an LE.

hey thanks guys,

yeah time I know theres at least one insane pic floating around but this ones definitely flown under the radar for a long time know.

And I think mines stuck somewhere between Gregs and Steve's LOL. Seeing some decent pink but still waiting for it to look like Gregs as long as I know the colors in there somewhere I'll never give up on an acro!

It is definitely a local favorite here in So Cali. Glad to see it's still in circulation.

The larger the colony got the better the color got. Here are some of the best pics I got of it.

Yep thats it! WOW man such a sweet acro. Love the deep purple polyps too. Thanks ton for chiming in Greg. I drooled over that thing for a long time before I finally got one.

Let it grow seems to be the real trick. Forgot to mention like I normal do in the first post, but anyone who's got a pic to share of this thing please feel free. Would love to see more.

Thanks again for posting yours. It's like its all coming back to me now.

Adam how is your acroberry colony looking now? There are not enough pics of this online that I can see.

Got one in my first and only battle box. It’s doing really well. Definitely a fattie.

Really glad to hear it. It's such a cool acro.

Do you still have this Adam? I would love to see some updated shots. You are very right in that this is not an average acro. It’s superb and I have not seen anything like it. I am still wondering what the species is though. Anyone ever figure it out?
