Looking for Opinion on LFS Acro

[dbjonesjr]

Stopped by a store lately to see they have a bunch of acro frags. After talking to them they seem to have all came from a colony of a local. I probably would have went ahead and bought at least a frag but I have a few questions. All of them are encrusting with some more than others (they were fragged once they got to the store). HOWEVER every single one looks like they are nearly completely brown. On many there is some green flesh and purple tips. Could this be because of lighting or high phosphates? Some tanks they have are running hydras and others are pretty weak fluval sea lights. I'm essentially looking for someone to push me to get a frag or not. They are only $20/$15-20% depending on how large a frag I want. I might be able to get a couple for a good deal since their crowd can barely take care of zoanthids. Should I expect to see them color up once they get into my system?

There are many reasons for brown outs, It you have the patience to color it up then I don't see why not just get one if your even considering it.. could be a real nice piece..

Thanks I figured that’s dirt cheap to not give it a try.

I’ll pick one up on my way home from work. Hopefully will post a picture and get some kind of an opinion!

Lol thanks! Ended up being $10 after discount and looks better just under different lights. Definitely worth it and hoping to see it color up more. Even the way it looked is the best looking coral I’ve seen in their tanks in months....
