hi all, just acquired this stick, but can't figure out what it is. Any ideas?

It has yellow, green, blue and purple tips and is pretty. I'll try and take a better pic of it.

Too small to tell much now, but my original guess would be an acropora tortuosa.

 

[IronVulture]

Yea looks like a tort

 

[IronVulture]

I just got this one looks very similar it is JF monster tort

 

[frogman_reefer]

Awesome. Thanks for the quick replies. I hope it really colors up. What lighting do you have it under?

 

[IronVulture]

Reef radiance LEDs and t5 actinic

 

[frogman_reefer]

I got mine under 250w 20k ushios. Par metered my setup today and that locations about 270. Decent flow. How's yours placed?

 

[IronVulture]

Just got it so it is still sitting on a frag rack

 

[frogman_reefer]

Ok. Let's keep notes and compare lighting, flow, placement. We can also look at growth. Whatcha think?

How is yours coloring up? Had a little issue with mine, but it's starting to come back.
RTN a little due to a salinity issue. But much better now.

Unfortunately I had a set back as well with some coral war fair mine is still alive and recovering but no new growth.

 

[frogman_reefer]

I gotcha. Hopefully it makes a quick recovery

 

[IronVulture]

It is making a comeback

Sweet. I see some new growth around the base. That's always a good sign.

What kind of light you have it under? (Par value) mine is sitting about 450

 

[IronVulture]

Same as before a black box and a couple actinic t5's I don't know the par

 

[IronVulture]

Slowly but surely recovering and re-encrusting

 

[frogman_reefer]

That's looking good. I might need to up my lighting that's got good coloration

Tbh I actually turned the intensity of my led's down a notch and that's when it got better color
