Just got this piece of TGC Cherry bomb today and have it placed around 300 par. Pic taken under blues with orange filter. Looks like it has a ways to go with coloring up. Any tips?

It looks pretty good to me, what do you think is off about the colour? Your axial tips are blue and polyps are pink.

Nice piece Imo.
 
Mainly just frozen mysis and Rod’s. Occasionally I’ll dose a little Red Sea AB+, Oyster Feast and just started feeding Benereef a few days ago.
animo and reefroids do you wear them?

That looks pretty much like CB. The acro skin color itself isn’t really impressive. The name came about for the color of the deep red polyps, otherwise it has a mild pink tone to the flesh it self.

Agreed. I was honestly a little underwhelmed by the flesh color itself after growing out. Nice red polyps though.

Yes. It’s definitely a Cherrybomb

it definitely has green in the lower areas of the branches but the polyps are so fuzzy that it hides it well. Even with the green showing behind the pink and red, it’s a stunner.
 
was it just time? because it was a new frag? was that all you had to do to get color? im trying to color up my homewrecker or walt disney or bill murray
Mainly time but could have been a difference in my water chemistry (traces, nutrients, etc) vs the system it came from. Here's an updated pic of it, my Bill Murray and WD.

dang nice. your polyp extension is alot better than mine. my bill murray is mostly green. but the frags are small and only about 7 months old. all they have done in the 7 months is encrust. encrusted whole entire frag plug plus onto the rocks, with ZERO branching. so annoying lol
