BUBBLEBATH UNICORN

[Russo757]

I got mine from Adam maybe two years ago now and it grows like a weed for me. I have the main colony under my radions and a second under T5s. I get the most yellow from the t5 colony.

Mother colony pic taken under radions on all royal blue.

One of the grow outs under the T5s

And one more that I placed as a Frags few months ago. I always get a color shift when I move from radions to T5s and this one def got nice yellows and a very defined blue tip

I believe this shot was taken under my actinics and XHO strip

I just ordered mine through Therman which i think he got from Battle Corals. Good to read what I can expect in the first year. Looks like its a Slow grower with the exception of Russo that doses unicorn blood into his tank for phenomenal coral color,

I’ve had mine for almost a year and it’s barely budged! Idk how Russo got his to grow like a weed

Mine also has done nothing for about 1.5 years ,,recently started to show some new growth and yellowtips

I wonder if mine grows so well because of how established it is? It’s fully encrusted and just pushes outward growth fast. The others I’ve cut are encrusting well, but aren’t branching yet so we’ll see. I wish I knew the secret, I’d be happy to share.

What kind of par levels pull the pink purple and yellow out of this one?

I have mine around 600 PAR.

After 2 years and some initial encrusting I am starting to see some vertical growth/ yellow tips

Wow mine been in my tank for maybe 1.5 years. Encrusted like crazy and stopped, but I swear I see some movement in the last couple of weeks. To be continued.

 

[Bpb]

So is the consensus that it’s an extremely slow grower for most?

 

[OnPointCorals]

Others who have had success with this. What par do you have it under?

 

[venomcc]

What a pretty acro, will definitely go into my first battlebox order!

I'm right there with you guys. This one below has been in my display for all of 2-3 years now. I clipped it a coupel times last year when i was extremely low on it, and @tristanfish 's frag was one of them, a glob more than anything but my last actual nodule of upward growth lol. I have been looking at an encrusted mass for ever now it seems. No protrusions at all. Fortunately, the ones I have on tiles upstairs are way more actively growing. This ones been painful to watch however.

Here's mine again just now, in the display. Almost a full year later and just barely a couple of teeny upward growing protrusions. lol

Mine looks a lot like Adam's and I've had it 18 months ;Yawn
