Cherry Bomb

[BoomCorals]

Another one that looks really similar is RR mardis gras. But the cherry bomb seems to turn much more red or cherry in color as it grows, right?

Brad, did you get your cherry bomb? pic?

Im not sure if this is going to happen still :(

Mine has not grown a whole lot but has 3 branches growing out near the mid section.

Any updates on this? I assume it is starting to encrust off the plug now and hopefully shooting some branches out?

Very nice! Happen to have a picture under normal lights, wondering how red the polyps are.

Here you go Cody. I think I am right about a month since the last pic. I am amazed on how little it encrusted but the branches continue to grow. Greg's pic look spot on for the difference in blue light vs day light. Here is the "daylight" pic.

What kind of par are you guys keeping it at? Mine looks like a paled out tenuis. I only see some pinks/reds under all blue.

I got mines about the same time. I guess it’s growing decently but I don’t have those colors. Just measured par and it’s right at 350-375.

Reefltx I believe this tenius is very dependent on nutrient levels high nutrients make it look crappy. I pulled mine from a friends tank with very low p04 and his looked way better here’s mine in the center starting to color up finally it’s packed away in the middle of the pic thants my full daylight t5 pic

Mine’s under ati hybrid.
No3 .05ppm
Po4 .03ppm
