Heart of the Ocean Acropora

[jda]

This thing is impossible to photograph, for me. Maybe Ed, Ty or Tim can do better, but you have seen what I have come up with on this thread.

It is solid blue. The more light that you give it, the more blue that it gets... at least in my tank.

More people that I traded frags with, for lineage sake:

Just noticed now that I am more awake that the photos are much too purple as well though the vibrancy is close to right

 

[scchase]

Maybe a little closer

...hate to do this here, but better than trying to answer all of the PMs that I have gotten wanting to buy/trade with the risk of missing one:

Have two frags to trade. One probably spoken for and I am not comfortable trading and shipping the Cornbred sized nubbin. These were cut a few weeks ago, encrusted and ready to go. Looking for high end SPS. Anybody with RMF Joker, RR Flaming Yellow Orchid or Gila Monster would make me very...

That looks amazing. I cant wait to start stocking the new system. Hopefully tanks come in this week and the tanks get painted and are ready to start plumbing this weekend coming up.

I have four chunky frags of this if anybody would like to trade. Send me a PM. Forgive the mad frags (I just moved them for the photo) and dirty glass.

Amazing @jda !!! Not everyone will be willing to trade and will look for quick buck ! I applaud you for such an amazing act.

By trade what specifically are you looking for?
Want to sell any of the frags?

Beautiful jda! I love the frag sizes. Wish more people would cut them like we used too.

people just want to make their money back right away instead of enjoying the coral. These 1/4"-1/2" frags are terrible.

Wish I had something of value to trade for one, but your collection is way too advanced! I did pick up a small blue Tenuis. Sold to me as “Blue Tenuis” and not as dark as yours but is still extremely bright. HArd to capture the true blue.

Bluest thing you’ll ever see. This coming from someone who has a 8-9 year old Oregon tort colony. HOTO is hot! Sorry, not selling just yet. Want it to grow out a bit more first. Thanks @jda for the awesome piece.

I have gotten a few PMs, and yes, there are fakes being sold in the marketplace right now. This coral does not have green or yellow tips/polyps and everybody should be able to trace their lineage back to Peng, or myself.

I hope that people check here before they buy since the board does not allow us to question imposters.

Thank you for the heads up. I was not familiar with this piece and was researching that sale thread when I came upon this thread.
Now that I am familiar with HOTO, I can say I really want one.

 

[SecondCityCorals]

If anyone has a legit frag for sale please PM me. I have little space left in my tank I’m growing out and I’d like to reserve that space for only the best pieces.
