Does anyone have Adam's "bubblebath Unicorn"? I am wondering if people are pulling out the same colors.

There's a reference to it in the second post here. Very recent too.

Trying to get back to it. I had an alk issue and the piece greened out on me, but for reference.

Day of arrival and shot in sunlight.

What it looked like from the side. Day 1.

Topdown on day 1.

I have what looks like the exact same coral. It was sold under the name Beast Mode. I call it "the purple Acro with yellowish polyps". I hope yours regains it's form. They are a beautiful piece.

I have one that's still small. Seems like a slow grower. Right now, brownish with green tips. I'm not worried, the other Battle Corals have eventually colored up nicely and look like the photos on the website. It should color up more once past the frag stage.

Although, many of my Acros that should have purples, don't. May need to play with lighting.

Might as well use this thread to track it's progress. Here's what the piece looks like today. Oddish green/blue coloration with hints of purple and yellow peeking through.

Before it fully colored for Adam, his mostly looked green also.

I have a piece that is seriously encrusting, not much color yet but I expect that when it starts vertically the colors will show up

2 months later. Colors are slow to come back. It also hasn't grown much, other than encrusting a bunch.

This is about 1.5 yrs of growth for me. It definitely likes to encrust first...taking off for me now. It's more vibrant in higher nutrients. Mine is about 5nitrate. Lil pale for my tasting. Look better at 20....last month...

its been encrusting but hasn't started growing vertically yet,no great coloration either,my experience with corals like this are the colors dont show up until the verticle growth starts...waiting patiently..
