I wanted to start a thread about a coral I acquired a couple years ago. Because so few reefers got a frag of this acro and now most of those seem to be gone, I thought I would provide a thread to document anyone's success (or failure) with it. The other reason for this thread is that I seem to take more photos of this acro than most of my other colonies and this will provide a place to reference all of those.
As far as I know, the Diabolic Pacman is similar, but not identical to RR Wolverine. Regardless, it is a very slow-growing acro that apparently is much happier in very high light and good flow. It is certainly the deepest, if not brightest, yellow acro I have seen. But, also has the most interesting polyps and low-light base coloration, as well.
One final thing. My colony is doing well, but is still short of fragable. I already have a substantial list and don't want to field anymore, because I have no idea how long it will take before it is ready.
This is a pic of the original frag from ChrisSG that was shown on one of the 2 threads he had. Sorry for the bad pic.
This is another bad Reefbrite LED pic over a year in. I was trying to show the interesting base color set against the yellow tips.
This is a 14K MH pic from a couple of months ago. Again, not a great pic...will we get to good pics? Probably not, because until someone with good camera skills and a DP colony post, we are viewing my pics.
And, finally, a T5 pic from a few months ago that shows the nice red polyps against the yellow base color on a high-light portion of the colony.
