~~~~~~~~Cornbred Maleficent Acro show off/Progression thread~~~~~~~

[declanisadog]

I'm glad this thread was resurrected.

Hey @gregoryleonard , are you still around, and do you still have this piece? I'd be very interested to see what yours looks like now.

 

[Dugless]

Just a frag, but here is mine.

 

[UFreefer]

Does anyone have it in a halide lit tank?

@bubbaque What's your experience with this coral under low and high light conditions? (Color and growth pattern wise)

You have a beautiful colony. I may jump at getting a frag from you.

 

[Trevor40]

My Micro frag with some strang worm on the lower part that eats lots of algae.

I honestly never tried it anywhere but high par.

This one grows into a “table” so I imagine it will also in lower par levels but may grow upwards towards the light.

@bubbaque hey I got this a while ago from my lfs they had bought a tank from someone in town that was moving and had a lot of high-end name corals. It was a mini Colony when I got it from them but didn't have much color they didn't know what it was just a random acro do you think it could be the Maleficent?

Hard to say but I think your growth structure looks different.

 

[Reeferguy365]

These are the only New Growth spots as of lately I fraged the crap out of it before my tank crashed a couple months ago so it might look a little weird once again I have no clue what it is tho lol. Thanks for your input I appreciate it

Here's mine, It's finally starting to sprout some branches.

I love mine! It’s hard to get a good pic but you can see how it’s encrusted the plug.

 

[iTzJu]

i think i may have to move mine to higher PAR, seems like mine hasn't grown at all since getting it.

 

[Nalini Akolekar]

Forgot to add pic!

Same

 

[Krux]

Just got this frag a couple of weeks ago, so I guess the start of a growth progression?

No, I would never buy from him, lol. It was one of my first high end corals, I remember getting it as a birthday present for myself from LFS. They had a nice colony of it and when I seen it I had to have it.

Why is that? Because of the actinic pictures?

Why is that? Because of the actinic pictures?

Two reasons. He over saturates his pics to the point I wouldn’t know what they would really look like and he sells micro frags.

This is such a big problem today... I understand people color correcting who run straight blues, but don't be overzealous with the saturation..

I put this picture together to show how stupid it can be...

Mother colony and below is the frag when poly extension close up.. can see the body better.

This piece is suddenly on my radar.
