Well not quite, but this one is getting there. The Reef ready Grape Juice is and old “Classic” by every standard nonetheless. I've had mine forever now and I still do not know the story, so if you do, let’s here it. I’ve kept this colony under leds since it was a small frag and it has just come into its own so well. Three perfectly distinct colors all glowing mad.

The Juice is one acro that really needs some time to grow up a little before it starts to look right. When it does, it's still absolutely amazing and not going passé anytime soon.


The colony below is 100% LED grown Grape Juice, beautifully marrying an old coral and a new light source into what I think is the nicest iteration my own piece has ever been! Super vibrant contrasting coloration and pic is absolutely true to life I swear. If anything, a little under-exaggerated.

Awesome colony man! I love that lime green with the grape juice. Not sure what you'd call the third color but, what stunner!

Those are both beauties. @BigJim you can see that pink starting to come through. Even without that pink tips that is a stunner

Thanks! I should probably add that the frag I received from Adam was big and in perfect condition. I had a tank issue that nearly killed it.

I lost all my colonies and frags of this one during the move :( It's one that always browns out after fragging IME, but in the right conditions and as it grows up it really is a stunner.

Hey Daniel! These two will probably look pretty much the same to you my friend but I've always thought upscales was a little more vibrant all around.\Greens are richer, pinks are sharper and polyps are darker. At least in my system.
