Do you trade for beer? I own a brewery, I'm sure we could figure something out. [emoji6]There’s always beer
this is Wisconsin after allI hope Boom has enough beer.
yea yea yea , in low , the bra is stinging it , it's brown , bla bla bla
It's supposed to be a Miami orchid. Brown with light brownish lavender pinkntips. I got those. Its a brown coral. Was cheap, one of my training acros. It. has completely taken off and tabled despite my abuse.
Here's the head scratcher. I moved it recently to this spot , it growing well and is annoying to my clown fish. Perfect.
Here's the thing , some of the new growth is .... in the shade.
The long tips under the main colony are all new growth.
I have this in the other tank too, the PE is so massive you'd think it was totally Different coral.Funny enough i have a tort piece that was tiny, but i decided to keep it. About 1cm single branch base. I glued it on the side of my rock structure, facing the wall, welll away from the light. Getting 20-50par, if that. Measured before
This lil ****.. has long branches, growing way faster than any of my sps including birdsnest
It also has the most gorgeous deep neon color that everything else in the tank doesn't have.
The only other noticeable difference is that it barely encrusted while everything else is still encrusting. I thought that maybe had to do with possibly low-flow in the area being so far from everything else, but who knowwws.
Makes me want to turn lights low! Lol
It also has the most dominant polyp extension during the day. I guess being in so little light it's trying hard to reach it maybe
I got this one From a LFS here , one of first starter acros. It was as long as my hand and bigger around than my thumb. (Newb score !)So I have the same kind of coral but I’m not sure what kind they are, I looked up Miami orchid and it looks very different from either of ours. If you have a specific id that wld be awesome
I wonder if it isn’t some sort of efflo?I have this in the other tank too, the PE is so massive you'd think it was totally Different coral.

From the way it grew there in the LSF Display , I though it was a stag horn. In their display it had grown thick in several long branches , and had arched up and over the tank getting the highest light.
An other oddity, as now clearly it's beginning to table.
And making ID even harder.
Lol.
I put this half of the coral down here As an experiment in flow kinda (more coral torture), but mostly I was clearing space for more interesting colored acros.
I did not realize my "training acro" would so actively be training me.
Thanks Dana.Here's a tiny bit of an article I wrote years ago describing Symbiodinium Clade C3. Reported to a depth of almost 300 feet, it is obviously tolerant of low light. The myth-information that Acros require a lot of light just won't go away. I think that was the article that had photos of deep water Acropora specimens provided by Dr. "Deetsie" Chave, then with the Hawaiian Underwater Research Lab (HURL.)
C3
- Reported Depth Range: 0-90 meters (0-294 feet)
- Reported Geographical Range: Bahamas, Belize, Okinawa, Taiwan, Great Barrier Reef, Hawai'i, NW Hawaiian Islands, Mexican Caribbean, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Kenya.
- Host Species: This clade is a pandemic generalist zooxanthella, reports seem to indicate this clade is remarkably adaptable over a bathymetric range of 0.3 - 90m (1-294 feet deep, and perhaps even deeper), and it is generally assumed to be adapted to deeper water environments. LaJeunesse, 2002 reports that C3 - along with C3a - were dominant in those corals situated deeper than 5m in waters of the Yucatan (Mexico). Clade C3 (along with C1, C21, C3d, C1c and C45) is believed to be an ancestral type from which other clades evolved (LaJeunesse, 2004). Those corals infected with Clade C3 include Acanthastrea and Acropora (1.0- 90m, LaJeunesse et. al., 2003), Acropora abretinoides, Acropora aculeus (GBR, Van Oppen, 2001), Acropora cuneata (Lord Howe Island, GBR; Wicks et al., 2010), Acropora digitifera, Acropora gemmifera, Acropora glauca, Acropora humilis (Taiwan, 3-5m, Chen, 2005), Acropora hyacinthus (two locations in Taiwan, ranging in depths of 3-10m, Chen, 2005), Acropora intermedia (two locations in Taiwan, ranging in depths of 3-10m, Chen, 2005), Acropora latistella (8-10m, Taiwan, Chen, 2005), Acropora latistella (Van Oppen, 2005), Acropora millepora (GBR, Van Oppen, 2001), Acropora muricata (formosa) (1.0-5.0, Taiwan, Chen, 2005), Acropora palifera (Taiwan, 0-3.0m, Chen, 2005), Acropora pulchra (Taiwan, 5-8m, Chen, 2005), Acropora tenuis (Chen, 2005; Taiwan, 5-8m), Acropora valida (Chen, 2005, Taiwan, 5-8m), Acropora valida (Van Oppen, 2001), Acropora yongei (Chen 2005, Taiwan, 3-5m), Acropora yongei (Solomon Islands), the Hawaiian anemone Boloceroides mcmurrichi, Caulastrea, Cyphastrea, Cyphastrea serailia, Diploastrea, Discosoma sp.

I'll look thanks.I wonder if it isn’t some sort of efflo?
Hear: “It’s complicated, we don’t quite understand.”I was told "it's complicated , you might not understand."
Hahahaha.Hear: “It’s complicated, we don’t quite understand.”
Umm no. Not really. It’s still growing great.Salty, did you ever get this resolved?
That's great about the seneye! Is the brown snot still growing or the acro? And is that STN underneath I'm seeing?Umm no. Not really. It’s still growing great.
I got a seney for Xmas. But there’s no way to get it in there.
I took these just now. They are horrible.
The snot on the top was the Anemonae sitting on it. Lol.That's great about the seneye! Is the brown snot still growing or the acro? And is that STN underneath I'm seeing?
Lol! Ya I can see that lolThe snot on the top was the Anemonae sitting on it. Lol.
It's because it's out of water lol! ;HilariousAnd I haven’t been able to get it to stop blinking either. Hahaha.
