This thing has been bulletproof through a few crashes. It’s almost volleyball sized now and I plan to let it get to basketball size. Anyone else have a colony of this old school piece?

I just got one of a very generous and sizeable frag (mini colony) from the frag swap last weekend. I wasn't a fan of smooth skin acros until I got it in my tank at home.

I'm starting to freak out a bit because I'm seeing signs of STN in some parts, and just read that they are sensitive to dips- which I absolutely did before putting it in :/

What does that mean?
Nevermind, I see what you are saying. I've never had a problem dipping them, but they are horrible shippers for sure.

Yeah mine started to recede at the base in my new tank. Moving it into higher flow completely stopped it.

I just did the same with mine yesterday when I got home from work. Crossing my fingers that it'll recover; I want to avoid having to frag it. Maybe I'll post a picture later today.
