CC Pink Highlighter appreciation thread

[Biff0rz]

I've really come to like this coral more and more as it grows out in my system! The color really pops and its progressed a bit to where more of the yellow & green comes out as it matures. Super happy to have this in my tank, and it started as a small 1/4" frag.

Pics are under LED's with a orange & yellow filters.

Honestly, I'm not sure lol. Sps do as they will imo. I dose reef moonshiners, keep the tank as stable as possible, and it sits at about 450par. So, I suspect all of that contributes in some way but who really knows with these things haha.

Mines the bigger one on the right excited to start seeing the colors you have. I just moved everything into my new tank so everything is a little pale.
Yours is looking awesome

I’ve had the Pink Highlighter for 3 1/2 years. It was semicolored up last year, but most of the time it’s been pretty much colorless. It’s the slowest grower I have.

Nitrates 2
Phosphates .14
Hybrid lighting- T5, LED & T5.
450 par

12/25

9/24 Best color

Thanks! That's a nice chunky frag you have! I bet it'll color up quickly since it's already on the larger side.

Is that with the t5's on? When I had (had) t5's everything looked washed. Can you turn them off, turn up the blues, and snap another Pic? Under whiter light mine looks a lot less pronounced. I'll try and get a Pic under whiter lighting.

I snapped a new Pic tonight (orphek orange cell phone filter) from a different angle to show the size better. The trunk has grown quite a bit.

Once they start growing, they go pretty good! Colors looking great!

Here it is under blues.

Strange, I can see areas where it looks like it wants to color up but others where it's pretty washed out. It looks like you've had really good growth though

That’s 3 1/2 years growth. It’s consistent, but very slow. I think it will color up if it ever starts growing.

I've seen best results with nitrate under 5 and K over 450. Obviously we all know it could be something else but this and my prom queen were both blah at 390.



I've even managed to draw some life outta this no named blue light.
