PC Rainbow Color

[sawdonkey]

I’ve grown this out twice from frags. Both times, the frags look beautiful and really colorful. Then it grows into a pretty regular looking red acro. However even when I would cut frags to sell/give away and let them sit in my grow out area, they would get super colorful too.

Here’s what the mothers eventually turn into.

are the ones in your DT under high light?

Yes, under cranked up black box LED, but this colony was about 20-25 inches below the water surface.

Oh ok was just wondering if high light made it go more red, like ORA red planet.

i have one that was a nice colorful frag then is started to encrust a little and held color till about 4 weeks in my tank then turned green and shrank back to original size and hasnt changed any in the last 3 months other than the tips always seem to have filaments on them.
i am thinking of prying it up and relocating but i thought i put in a prime spot.

This is probably the best I have ever got PC rainbow colored up, I sold this frag a few months ago:

This is my mother colony, decent but not as impressive:

How large did yours get before it basically turned one color? I have a small one but larger than a frag but it's still colorful for now.

Mine is a pink, red, and yellow color with some green lower in the body/base. I keep it under 300 PAR roughly. (T5 before, now halide)

Here is mine I have two mini colonies probably one of the faster growing corals imo.

Got a booger of this awhile back and now it's about 3/4". Getting blasted by flow and tons of light (~470 PAR, Maxispect Recurve). Waiting for it to hit critical mass when it really grows (one of the quickest growing sps IME).

I think we need a thread where we can all share our pc rainbows, lol.

boom how large is yours?

 

[BoomCorals]

boom how large is yours?

A good 6” in diameter.

Lower light will give it that nice rainbow look it gets it name for. Higher light and it looks like SawDonkeys colony. I couldn't figure it out either until I noticed that any piece I removed from my DT under 400 par that was all maroonish red went all rainbow in my frag tank at 150-200 par.
